When will we learn. News flash: the truth is edited and twisted to fit whatever narrative the media company leans towards. Period. FOX is conservative. CNN is liberal. Without a doubt both sides serve up a lying side of propaganda to fuel their agenda. Who is responsible for the capital riots? First and foremost, the people who rioted. People are responsible for their own actions and choices. Second, the media. Who incited the riot violence that occured in cities all over America last year? The media. The media specializes in destroying people's lives if they see fit and elevating others to God-like status and we eat out of their hand.
The notion that some have that the news media presents all facts and can be trusted, is completely false. News outlets, more often than not, present partial, twisted truths, that they spin into a beautiful and believable web of lies in order to emotionally charge and rile the masses.
This lawyer only had enough time to expose a few of the liberal media's efforts to twist the truth to serve their narrative. If he had enough time to cull through all of the news stories presented over the past four years, what would he find?
To be clear, I am certain that the same could be said of conservative news outlets, especially when a Democrat is in office.
I like to toggle back and forth between CNN and FOX and a few other news outlets. Somewhere in the middle of those extreme ends of the political spectrum, is a maybe a glimpse of truth. In my opinion.
If you prefer one news outlet over the other due to your political leanings I get that but, when I hear people say that they only watch FOX news because it is the only honest news. Or, I only watch CNN because it is the only accurate news...I regret to inform you that you are being deceived. I doubt that any truly honest news exists.
This is precisely why I struggle so much with politics and the news. These things somehow have the power to make us hate our neighbor, abandon a friend and renounce a family member. To make us gossip and slander a good name. In some extreme cases, these things seem to have the power to incite violence against our fellow man. It is all so heartbreaking. It should not be this way.
Guard your heart and mind and love your neighbor. Take all of the political garbage and put it off to the side for just a moment. See how much hate and rage dissipates when you set politics aside for a minute. Remember that we are all flesh and blood and worthy of being loved regardless of our political leanings.
