White domestic terrorism: Russia’s success in altering the results of our 2016 Election: the Second Amendment: the Economy: Trump’s failure to lead the fight against Covid-19: Impeachment: Sexual assault: Adultery: an unnecessary border wall: Trump’s failures dominate the news. Sensationalism sells advertising, and the television news completely ignores everything else which is happening in the world. Fox’ methods have been adopted by fake broadcast news networks which once proudly placed Walter Cronkite, and Edward R. Murrow in front of the television cameras. They offered no opinions, and no bias; just the facts about the news of the day.
Looking at the front page of Google today, every top story is about Trump, the Trump White House, or related to the Covid-19 pandemic and Trump’s failure to lead.
You might not believe it if you watch Fox Noise, or ignore the foreign press, but there are other stories about other events in our country and the world.
Trump complains about the press and every television broadcast, with the exception of Fox, but the truth is they see Trump as a source of revenue. Fortunately, I haven’t watched television “news” since November 9, 2016. Therefore, my IQ remains at the same level it has been since I reached adulthood.
I refuse being lied to, and lies of omission are more dangerous than blatant fallacies.
Most importantly, I am tired of Trump’s constant lies and learning about another of his many failures.
Fact, not a single major issue which faced Trump has been addressed by the worst administration in history. Instead of working with experts to find solutions to healthcare for all 330 million Americans, finding a system which would allow all Americans access to our colleges and universities, ending the opioid crisis, passing legislation to repair our crumbling infrastructure, ending the growth of white, domestic terrorism, ensuring women have the same rights as men in our society, ending domestic violence, and working for income equality, Trump has been busy golfing, traveling to Mar-a-Lago, holding hate rallies, watching Fox Noise, and attacking anyone who offers even the smallest criticism of the malignant narcissist.
If you choose to watch television “news” broadcasts, you enjoy hearing lies and half-truths. My slogan has always been, “The Truth Lives Here,” and I promise that I will never fail you.
