This is Why I Hate the News Media

   I've spent many of my young adult years practically glued to the TV watching the news. There were house fires, pedestrians getting turned into street pizza, heatwaves, storms, mass shootings, etc. It turned me into a paranoid recluse. Watching a steady diet of this sh*t would have anyone believe that most human beings are thoughtless, violent, drunk driving, sex-crazed, gun-wielding, sh*t-for brains psychotic lunatics. And that the world is coming apart at the seams like L.A. in the beginning of Demolition Man. But the years I went to college (circa 2000, before it became SJW University / St. Safe Space College) I began to see what the world really was rather than the Hellscape the media protrayed at 6/11 o'clock every night. College wasn't a wild orgy of drunk f**kwads burning down the campus. These people were mostly normal with standards.  
What really turned me against the news media was the infamous 9/11 coverage. Inflated bullsh*t speculation by the ton. The pictures and the videos from average citizens were news enough for me. This and Katrina all they did was shove cameras into people's faces. Enough! This is when I hated Fox News thinking they were the root of all evil. So, I started to watch the BBC and EuroNews and i24. That is, before the era of Trump v. Clinton v. Biden v. Bernie Socialist Politboro.  

Today, I think the media is too politically polarizing. One side thinks that Trump is turning the nation into a nazi-like police state and rallying every Neo-Nazi rabid lunatic out there. Whereas the other think that Western Civilization is dying and that the SJW demons are taking over the universe. Now with this f**king Coronavirus frenzy, they've really sealed the deal.  Not only are they covering this goddamn disease like its some kind of doomsday Ebola contaigion! When only the elderly, those with compromised immune systems are at greater risk than the rest of us. Jesus Christ! These f**kwits have read too many/watched too many Stephen King books and movies! Where the hell is Walter Cronkite, Edward R. Morrow, and Tom Brokaw when we need them?

 Now we have a cast of failed modeling students, wannabe slacktivists on the wrong side of Woke, and conspiracy nutjobs giving us information...the wrong f**king information! The wrong information that ignores what Trump actually does and focuses on what the bastard put on his Twitter feed. The wrong information that cause a nationwide shortage on cleaning products including hand sanitizer and isopropyl alcohol! The wrong information that causes a 22-year old deli clerk to utter out the phrase: "scary times we're living in". Really? You lardassed dumbsh*t with fingers covered in cheese puff dust! "Go back to 1968 when politcal assassinations were commonplace, there was real oppression, racism, and sexism. Go back to 1918 when the Spanish Flu was amok before we had anything like Purell, a CDC, or proper hygenine when something like this killed tens of millions of people!" Only people like this would belive the news media  hype. Go online get the story from something Rueters, Epoch Times, and WHO site. Not some douchce bag or dumb bitch with fake tits that's more at home on a reality show than a f**king news broadcast!! I have spoken.
