Mostly I despair at the standards of journalism these days that I can't watch news on TV or read the papers due to the sensationalizing and editorializing, let alone worrying about what the news is actually about No, I don't let my kids watch the news, both out of concern for quality as well as content.
Agreed 100%.
No television news at all - total dross.
We do get the NY Times at weekends but that is mainly so we can see the upcoming happenings (museum exhibitions, plays and fairs etc) in NYC, for DD to be exposed to blatantly political written bias (part of guiding her to self calibrate her BS filters) and to read the occasional decently written article.
I also get it to have newspaper to line the kitchen sink with when dressing pheasants or gutting fish and to get my chimney starter going - LOL
Whatever happened to just reporting what happened leaving a person to intelligently and independently draw their own conclusions w.r.t the whys, hows and impacts?
