This is worth 15 minutes of your time and really hammers why almost all digital media is hyper partisan (whether left or right)

Pretty simple.....If it's bad for your side, it's fake news.

He goes well beyond that. He speaks to the economics behind why they have proliferated

The AP is probably about as straight down the fairway as you're going to find. But regarding the Fresno shooter last week, for some reason they wrote that he yelled, "God is great!" He certainly did not yell that. And we all know what he actually yelled. I don't know if writing the story that way is "fake news", but it certainly shows a slant or an agenda or minimally a fear of the truth.

The media can't even agree on illegal immigrants or undocumented immigrants. I think we go through the same thing with Islamic extremists. Everything is so politically charged, and people are afraid to call things for what they really are.

The Founders framed a strong central government as "Federalists" and won the day in part by labeling opponents as "anti-Federalists". But to most folks today, Federalists are the people advocating for states rights and limited Federal intervention. So maybe labels and spinning matter......

But why is that? What the fuck is so wrong about just reporting the news without fear of offending people?

Well, hey man, that's just a lie
It's a lie Peeps tells his friends
Cause real news
The real news he won't even admit to himself
The beating in his heart
It's the news lots of people know
It's painful news
With a load of sad truth
But life's full of sad news
A penny for a wish
But wishin' won't make it so, Peeps
But a pretty kiss or a pretty face can't have its way
Peeps, deplorables like us, we were born to subscribe to Louder With Crowder
