More and more the credibility of "news" doesn't seem to matter. As long as the transparency of "news centers" is under question. And personally, when I hear each freaking news presenter sounding exactly the same I also start to wonder if there isn't more going on behind the scenes.
It might seem like fake news is more prevalent today. But fake news has been with us for a very long time. Only our ability to spot it has changed.
Video and image and sound have long lost their importance in credibility. It's not about what seems real but what actually happened. And there are usually ways to find out if you dig deep enough.
But most people don't have the time to dig. For those poor souls I suggest you find a reasonably reliable source of news (if news is important and truth is important to you) then stick with those. If something seems fishy then check it out and if it turns out false remove that source from your "trust".
the integrity of the one reporting and caring about what is real and true matters in order to trust what they say. Media has lost the trust and has long been into faking reality for certain agendas, indeed.
Something that was bothering me. Was the fact that media was so convinced that Trump had ties to Russia that they kept on reporting on it. It would have been one thing if they actually backed their claims up with facts, but they didn't.
Also politicians. When the French president was confronted with the terrorist attack he just kept repeating the same thing over and over. Basically trying to cling to his small seat of power. Where's the humanity? If he was going to go on air I'd prefer tears, shouting, fury. Not the way he was acting.
I'm not saying that Trump's a GOOD leader. But he sure was one of the most honest leaders in the history of America. And I think that's a bad thing.
The real tragedy isn't Trump as president. its that the country has fallen so far that it was never a competition between two humans. Rather one human, and one politician.
I can of course go on about how and why Trump is bad but it isn't the point I want to make.
