I follow the national news every day. 7 days a week. I spend hours every day reading and watching the news. That's where I get my Stu Pitt blog posting ideas from. For years I have been suspicious of the slanted biased left-leaning national news media. With good reason. Now, after the 2016 Presidential Election, and the crushing defeat of the Democrat Party, the liberal media has been exposed as corrupt, politically biased and supporting left-wing bad losers, crybabies and whiners. The liberal media did not only refuse to graciously accept defeat but doubled down on anti-Trump pro-liberal sniping, finding and twisting information to suit their liberal leanings and reporting it as "news". And misleading the audience/reader. That is not proper news reporting based on facts, that's opinion, based on political bias, and masquerading as news. This is not fair and not balanced. In fact, it's not news at all, it's "spin". News should be f-a-c-t-u-a-l and not some news organization's or publisher's biased political opinion. Until all media news commentary is labeled - onscreen or in print - as "opinion" I will treat it as Fake News.
Accordingly, I am hereby ignoring any uber-liberal news sources and adding the following national liberal media news sources to my Fake News list. ANY news reporting from these sources will be ignored and/or considered suspect and biased, twisted and possibly made up, for left-wing political purposes.
From the following liberal media outlets I will now refuse the news:
New York Times
CNN
MSNBC
ABC News
NBC News
Rolling Stone
Time
Newsweek
Huffington Post
Washington Post
Slate
New Yorker
Mother Jones
Salon
Feel free to do the same.
UPDATE: I am now considering refusing all the national news. From all the national news media. After the 2016 election the mainstream "news" media has gotten more stupid, more ridiculous and more unAmerican in its reporting. Every thing Donald Trump has done, does, will do or didn't do is attacked over and over again by the loser liberals. And it is endlessly reported on and opinionated upon by the mainstream media. Even the fair and balanced Fox News has gotten sucked in and is now boring and irritating, spending all its time on the seriously stupid attacks on Trump and everything related to him. This is all Nonsense News. And I fully expect this Nonsense News to continue throughout the entire Trump reign, which will last for 4-8 years. I've had it. I've had enough. I'm bored and disgusted with Nonsense News already and it's only the beginning of Trump being President!
I am seriously thinking about turning off my TV and leaving it off during non-prime time as far as getting the news. As a result, I may shortly choose to refuse the news - ALL the news. (this does not apply to local news. My local news is not nearly as biased). If I refuse the news will I be uninformed? As far as being uninformed about the latest nonsense news and illegitimate liberal attacks on Trump, yes I will be uninformed. Good. And if I want to find out what's really going on in America, and around the world, I can get my information direct, from President Donald Trump, via twitter!
