Sick of all media

Left and Right - what we get is muckraking and shite-stirring under the guise of news. Responsible journalism is dead. The Star, National Enquirer, and tabloids have won. The supermarket checkout line is now showing on your home tv and favorite websites and blogs. And none of us are the wiser. Sad. Sad.

Agreed. It used to be that a journalist was supposed to report the facts. Now the media on both sides simply paint an event with their opinions. It's very difficult to tell what is happening and what is being stretched beyond all recognition.
Just one example. Years ago (Many, many) I worked in a radio station as a DJ. I collected the news from our AP machine we subscribed to and there was a story that sounded like a race riot was about to happen in the city I was in. I asked one of the local news guys about it, and he laughed and said it was the regular NAACP meeting that happened every month. He finished with "Slow news night."

It nearly seems like a form of censorship. Don't report truth.

The right doesn't know what the middle is anymore so it's impossible for them to judge biasness in the news. Hell republicans think Fox News is "fair and balanced" lol

Every time a republican is critized they call it fake news.

MSM is complicit with the globalist scumbags.

After that 8 year vacation the MSM was on when Uncle Barry was here I'm shocked at all their misleading and divisive tactics and their bought and paid for mouthpieces

This is one of the more ignorant things I've read this month. I don't know what you are even calling "the right." Do you really think there is a significant % of voters who are "right wing" in the traditional sense?
The statist/self-titled "progressive" radical wing of the Democrat party has taken over the party and has helped skew the spectrum so far left that most Republican voters are now centrists by any measure besides a total hack's.
And then there are the libertarian leaners whom you would idiotically throw into your made-up "right wing."
Your fundamentally bankrupt ideology is dead and all you have left is hatred for Trump. It gives you sick, smug satisfaction and pleasure that he is unorthodox and anti-intellectual, making the melts even more extreme. But this same basic shite would be happening with you lunatics if Cruz or Paul had won.
Enjoy your political grave.

Sounds like you guys are still trying to get out from under that backfire.

"We the people" have spoken. "You", the Left, are a minority.

Yep and our President promotes it via Twitter
