Watching the News May Not Be So Smart!

I was watching CNN the other day and I noticed that there was a tinge of bias when talking about certain things. There was a story about how militias are on the increase and how people all over the country are getting scared of what is happening with the economy and all of that stuff. Well, while most militia members are fat old wannabe military people who couldn't get in, it is also true that many of them are serious about not having our rights taken away and in that regard I agree. I am not in a militia or anything like that and I personally would never join one just for the fact that if anything were to happen in this country like martial law or whatever, those groups would be the first ones to get spanked with an unmanned drone with their name on it. I prefer to be my own single unit militia thank you very much!

Anyway, CNN really put these people in a really bad light and from what I remember of CNN, they always said that they were into fair and balanced reporting and honesty and all of that other garbage that they say. Well, that certainly was NOT fair and balanced reporting and there have been many other instances of this kind of bias BS on their part.

This is going to tick so many of you off but I MUST mention it. What is with CNN and their new Spanish BS that they always show on their station now? Have any of you noticed this little shift with that one guy (forgot his name) but he does some stupid report about "photos" or something yet he talks in Spanish all the time? Sorry but I am an English speaking American person and our "official" language here is ENGLISH! I do not need CNN shoving Spanish into my ears.

I'm sorry folks but it seems that ALL of the news stations are bias in their own ways. FOX is anti-Obama, CNN and MSNBC are pro-Obama and they all have their own agendas and they all most certainly have their own message that they are trying to push on us.

This is why I say that we all need to turn off the television and just stop watching these news shows. If you have a shortwave radio, you can get news from around the world and that may very well be a better option.

Something else to remember, all of these "big box" news stations like CNN are run by larger companies with massive amounts of money. Did you ever think that the government is actually in control of what these media outlets say? Well, it is certainly something to think about and it is certainly something to be aware of because from what I have seen, we are being fed all sorts of false information to make us think that things are getting better.
