Speculation

[Boltlady]

There was a time, some years ago when you could find out the news by turning on a news channel. Now we have very little actual news that is reported and instead everything is speculation.

Before the election, we heard over and over about what if one or the other would win. Now that one has, the 'news' is all about who will he pick, what will he do and so on. Instead of waiting and critiquing what he does do, the conversations are all about what hasn't happened yet.

Surely there's a whole range of interesting things that happen in the world that we could be told about.

MSM believes that if they speculate they can affect the outcome. Alex Jones does it all the time albeit he isn't MSM... yet.

24 hours is a long time if nothing is on the channel so filling it in with nonsense non issues and no news is the only thing left to do.. can't talk about other countries and what is happening there US citizens have enough problems understanding American political let alone another counties political systems.

All news doesn't have to be political. It's still a big enough world that there are all sorts of things happening at any given time. In fact, if they were to present more general news people might find out that we have all kinds of things in common. Then we wouldn't have to keep killing each other.

I have all but stopped watching news on television. I am sick of it.
I want to know if there is anything in the world worth paying attention to right now. Other than that, I have ceased to care. This is especially true since I understand that most of what we hear on the news is pure propaganda geared to put our opinion on one side or the other.

At the moment I am increasing my watching of fiction shows and mindless sitcoms. I'm sick and tired of lying "news".
