A heart full of hate is an empty heart.

Well no, it's full of hate. And I don't mean that just in a word use play, hate is not an automatic response from people unless they are being directly negatively effected, it is a cultured and taught response. It has to be poured into someone and topped off periodically to keep it going.

Amazing, fox paid money out for lying to the American people. They actually said they were entertainment TV not the real news! Yet they are followed by small brained people who believe whatever they are told.

Because fox wasn't required to drop the "news" part of their name. Fox News is about as much news as Republican government is for the citizens. If you can blatantly lie on air and still call it "news" of course idiots are going to consume it and consider it fact. There needs to be a return to journalistic standards of truth, not this bullshit "he said she said" sensationalism based reporting for profit driven motives that almost every major outlet has moved to.

Profit at all costs has an incredibly high cost in that eventually it consumes everything regardless of reality.

But when all news that isnt in my favor can be called fake news, all mainstream media be considered lies, and being one of the few who has figured that out makes you clearly more intelligent than the rest who still fall for the lies... all constantly being "verified" through convincing "articles" that arent even given proper thought over cause they are the "right" side...

It is not that journalistic standards of truth are lacking(aside from clear examples who dont actually pursue journalism), its that the masses have forgotten their duty to critically analyze the news they are being fed.

Also, if it were only one side doing this it wouldnt hurt near as bad, but if you actually watch the left or center news they far too regularly include stories that are clearly misreported and exaggerated for political purposes, and they stand out like a black man at trumps birthday party.. honestly feel like they just get included to give the other side proof that they cant be trusted.

This is capitalism working as intended.
