Peeking at media: CNN

Since the beginning of the covid situation, I made an effort to avoid all media as it is an arms race of sorts.
Today I hit cnn out of curiosity.......good fricking Lord. Everyone is now dying at an accelerated rate beyond all hopes and the economy is sure to be far worse than the Great Depression. And, of course, Trump is 100% evil, stupid, etc. I’m no fan of DT, but
It truly is ridiculous and damaging to a fragile psych of our country.

I watched the nightly news last night for the first time in awhile. It was 95% fear stories about Covid, 4% fear story about a potential tropical threat, and 1% feel good story thrown in at the end.

I do them all. It’s the only way to gauge who’s winning what flavor of Spin Wars.
They all suck

made a bet with my wife last year that if at any time during the week, we turned on CNN and "Breaking News - Trump _______" wasn't on the bottom of the screen, Id do housework and wouldn't ask for sex during for a month straight.
she checked it 10-12 times an hour to start, then didn't even bother to look by the end of the week

Watch politics live or clips on Twitter to filter out BS.

It’s been like this the last 4 years

You should be. Have you seen the Democrat platform in the last 25 yrs?

The day I saw CNNs Death Ticker, I pushed the off button.
I did go take a gander at Fox and it’s just too much DT arse-kissing. I appreciate the toned down fear agenda, but they tilt their own way as well. CSNBC was pretty awful as well. Hell, as I said, they all are.

Can't understand them with the Trump dick in their mouth.
CNN/MSNBC are as bad, don't get me wrong. None of them are equal, fair or balanced.

Negativity is a human vice that the media pumps into American homes to the addicts to keep everyone addicted and tuned in.
