Turn on your TV, your computer, or your radio, or just open your news paper and what do you see? You see men and women arguing, shouting their "news", talking as loudly as it takes to be heard and resorting to yelling when that doesn't work. What do you hear? You hear ranting, raving reporters, overheated Democrats and Republicans. Chaos... and they call it "news".
News used to be objective, events were reported as they were, without opinion, and the opinions were left for the editorials.
But it seems editorials are leaking into the news columns...
So where are we suppose to find objective news? I know I can turn to CNN and FOX for their opinions. But what if I'm uninformed and want to hear it straight? Objective news lets the listeners make their opinions. But subjective news broadcasters have obtained credential ,and people are taking their "news" as fact. Subjective news is killing free thinking, and our country's unity, splitting us into Democrats and Republicans, and encouraging unpatriotic behavior after their choice candidate is not elected, instead of supporting the one we have.
Broadcasters have gotten out of hand, saying whatever they like about whoever they choose with no punishment. When news becomes slander, what do we do about it?
