It's a two-for-Tuesday.  Mondays I typically air out some disgust or annoyances and Tuesdays are dedicated to current events.  I'm going to merry the two:

National news.  Hmmm.  What is truth and what is fabricated?  I accept that interesting news needs something to hook you-- death, dismemberment, extortion, heck.... a cool story about gender reassignment surgery.  Whatever is headlining that day in ANY publication needs some eye grabbing sparkle.  Obviously, to make something sparkle, you need a little glitter.  But not all that glitters is gold.

My husband believes that there is not ONE newspaper, news channel or media outlet that tells 100% of the facts.  So, he is boycotting all forms of news.  I asked him how he was to get informed of current events.  His response was "I don't care anymore because its all bullshit."  Normally, I just walk away in instances like that to avoid a debate (when I don't agree) but there may be a shred of truth in that.

Fox News, CNN..... they play the left and the right.  Local news is just gun violence (which I have mentioned a million times).  So where is one to get informed?  I'm peeved by citizens that walk around in a daze of ignorance; not caring what is going on in the world around them HOWEVER, I kinda get it now.  

I'm so OVER the political rat race.  I'm even more over the ludicrous comments that local officials spew into the news.  What has almost put me over the edge are taglines regarding molested children/children being murdered, assaulted, etc.  OVER IT.
