Do you trust the news? I don't. All the news organisations have been caught in yellow journalism, smear campaigns, cover ups, straight up broken the law and driven people crazy or to death. I've seen so much of this that it's turned me against the profession. I do know that there are good people in that fleid, but that corruption has ruined the main stream news.
Saying that, alternative news sources like guys on YouTube, can and do fall into the same shit as the mainstream. Coffe,coffe*PhilDeFranco*coffe,coffe.

No. The trouble is that the media pick and choose what they show to the viewers, even when they haven't managed to weave their own agenda into it. I don't mind the agendas since I can filter that out to get the raw unbiased objective facts of the situation being reported, but when they're straight up avoiding from reporting on certain events, it's just baffling. You'd think for a NEWS channel they'd cover all NEWS. Unfortunately that's just not the case.
Another thing I dislike is when they put one person on a pedestal above others. Like oh this person is dying of cancer and they've raised some money for charity, let's give that person a knighthood and put them on the TV and truly express their personal struggle.
Like bruh, lots of people have cancer and also raise money, why are they not on the news also? Cherry picking for agenda weaving. This happens often not just with people suffering from an illness or disease. It's a shame.
And I've found that nowadays a lot more subjective opinions are being thrown into the news too. Instead of just reporting the objective facts of a situation, we now have to get these fucking nobodies that nobody has ever seen before crawl out of the woodwork like a worm to talk and give opinions on the situation. It amazes me that almost every single time they always find someone new (usually an old guy either bald or with grey har and has glasses wearing a tie) who you've never seen or heard of before nor will ever again that is brought on to the TV to talk complete bollocks just to fill time on the channel.
It sickens me that you are forced to pay a TV license to the likes of the BBC to get nothing other than subjective agendas and opinions being thrown at you instead of the plain unbiased facts. They ought to get rid of that and force the BBC to use commercials to pay for their dumb channels.
The best way I get news is actually through Youtube, reddit, forums and google. I find it much easier to filter out any possible agenda (sometimes I don't even have to at all) from news online.

Which is why I look to other sources, gather them up, and see what's consistent. I do this with everything really. Doctors, movie leaks, etc.

Yes, I rely on the other sources I stated, because mainstream media always twists everything to their agenda, even the hot weather currently happening in the UK! Like seriously they can't just shut the fuck up and enjoy the nice summer weather, they've got to act negative on it saying it'll kill people, that you shouldn't travel or go out and it's dangerous proof of how we're destroying the climate! All that BS. They shit out of their mouths on a daily basis.

Hot weather? You're destroying the climate!
Eating meat? You're consenting to the killing of animals!
Breathing? You're overpopulating the planet!
Can't even exist without someone being a cunt about it on the mainstream media.

I few months ago I probably would have gone on a rant. Because the news is always playing in the background and I was like, shut that shit off!! Christ.

It's the same here. It's on in the background, other family watch it, I just focus on other things wearing headphones.

I remember years ago I had to unfollow CNN off of Twitter, despite being owned by WB Discovery. I just couldn't handle seeing their political bullshit on my feed anymore.

Yeah, news is 100% better when only the facts and objective stuff is reported. Sadly this is a rarity nowadays.

There are very few news channels that provide facts. It is all mostly commentary.

Commentary gives way to subjective opinions and that mostly leads to agendas. Don't need that shoved down my throat when trying to get updated factually.

There has been some headlines about Sesame Place lately, but don't feel like posting them because reports are making it about race. I will say Sesame Place looks kinda creepy, though. Like some Five Nights at Freddy's type shit.

Is it located on Sesame Street? Couldn't resist that one.
Edit: It's on Sesame Road! What a failed opportunity.

Like some Five Nights at Freddy's type shit. So let me try to explain this. No one has any idea who is in that suit, so calling it racist is haphazard. People are hyper charged to throw a flag when thinks like this were ignored in the past. Now that everyone is walking around with video cameras all of this is open for people to see, interpret and then blast out in seconds. I tell the children all the time, it takes 20 seconds for you to do the wrong thing and regret it for the rest of your life. The person in that suit was wrong. The person and no one else.

And just because that one particular incident was filmed, that doesn't mean it's the first time it's happened either. There's every chance it's been happening for a while with many kids and not just black children. Pulling the race card only shows how racist the person bringing it up actually is.

It just feels like the media only gets certain vids and run with it.
