Replay to post Blogs #13: Hello and welcome to the Fake News!

Title is test number one.  Real or fake?  Google the news from the week of May 20, 2009.   Or if your lazy, just click here. Test two:   Texas Constructs US Border Wall to Keep Citizen’s Safe from Americans.  If one’s answer is not the latter; it’s best one slaps them selves.  1.  That would mean Texas is annexing them selves.  2.  Read slowly, think logically.  For the internetz newz its Cali.

Although fake news has that tendency to be more entertaining; its still a dangerous road to travel.  I believe in strict ethic codes when it comes to news.  However, news papers and those that use to follow such ethics are losing recognition.    With Comedy News, they’re getting what may or may not be deserved.  But I’m biased and lean toward things which are fact driven.  Really how interesting it is or not should not be a consideration.

However, I do agree with Jon Stewrt on the matter of coherency and comprehension.  If you can’t understand the information presented to you, its probably not worth your time reading.

Newspaper Narcissism By Walter Pincus

We have also failed our readers in the way we cover government. The First Amendment not only guaranteed freedom of the press from government interference, it also gave American journalists the opportunity—I believe the responsibility—to find and present facts on issues that require public attention. Our press is not protected in order to merely echo the views of government officials, opposition politicians, and so-called experts. Too often, though, that’s what occurs.

And in which case, I’ve no problem with people seeking the same information else where.   (There is no point and reading news that’s not present at a fifth grade reading level.)  Pokemon even covered he USA’s 2008 Election better than CNN, NBC, or ABC news.  The proof is in the Gif.  Plus, its more entertaining than watching debates going in a circular motion.

I hope everyone reading this has realized it is a ploy to redirect you to to:  Is FaceBook Making Me Stupid? (Simplified and relatable read), This is Your Brain on FaceBook (Full explanation.) It doesn’t (really) bash FaceBook, only a little.
