Nothing the media says these days seems to be anything truthful.  I actually believe todays' media are just for "entertainment" and nothing more.

That's why sometimes we have doubt in them if they're telling the truth or lying.

I know exactly what you mean,  there was an headline on Yahoo Betty White gone, click on it an ad for wrinkle remover, Betty White's wrinkles gone!  I hate things like that.  And as far as spelling, I'm not an expect in spelling, but honestly doesn't anyone check spelling words before they publish the article?

I know.  I saw that.  It made it seem like she had died.  I knew that wasn't so because I figure that would have been major news.  As far as spell check, I am going to go with no. lol

Some entertainment. lol.  But they do get people stirred up and turn people against each other and that is what they want.  It can be as simple as a news story on tv when people are in the break room.  One person comments and another disagrees and before you know it you have the people in that work place turned against each other.  That's what they want.  They want us fighting with each other.  And if we are all fighting with each other over something stupid over whether it's a Christmas tree or a holiday tree then we miss important stuff like the beginning of WW3.

I believe the media is more concerned about pushing an agenda than reporting factual news.
