Mueller memos illustrate media's great divide

Here is an example of twisted media reporting a "story" as if it is factual and straight up, yet complains that news outlets are now political. They skew the story with numerous negative statements about Fox as if they would have defended Nixon in Watergate, and thus equate the actions of Trump as being the same, yet avow the "Memo" is just nothing as such stalwart intellectuals as Rachel Maddow are whining "This is all" ( Yes, Rachel, lying to a Federal Judge to spy on a US citizen is a bad thing, and is the equivalent of the Republicans burglarizing the Democrats). Yet the very topic they are talking about is clearly espoused in their reporting, they skewer the "right" guy, and make out the "left" as just poor little people trying to make the truth known. Yet throughout this disjointed diatribe, it is clear that AP is not a neutral reporter, but a clear left side of the road provocateur. That is the real issue, our society is broken into 2 parts with a middle group of looter beneficiaries willing to sell themselves to the greatest pork producer. Objective reporting is dead in the news, if, and a very big if, it was ever alive. Look back at history and see how every news organization since the War For Independence has a political axe to grind, and did so, all the way through today, from the evil English, the filthy Spaniards, the evil NIps, to the deadly Commies, all the while professing "Thats the way it is". In the 60's, something happened, the change in 1964 on to a cynical, negative, support for the "deep state" started to migrate in, as if someone, somewhere, issued new instructions as to who the "enemy" is.

    In the 50's and 60's, most towns had two newspapers, one would have a Republican Op-Ed page and the other Democrat. Some bias would slip into the selection of the news to be covered but the reporting, itself, would be pretty neutral. You could read the same story in both papers and recognize it was the same by other means than the names and places. Today, all news is political, all reports are slanted and there is no way to read about the facts of an event. It is embarrassing to read reports from your own side and infuriating to read the oppositions versions. The most disturbing experience is to read a report of an event that you witnessed and find that you don't recognize it from the article.

    Ah, yes, but digging in the news is like reconnaissance in war, you have to know what the enemy is up to....

    Gergen "hopes things will settle down."
    Of course he does! Settle down to a constant advance of socialism and enslavement of the people by elitist looters like Gergen.

    Stop watching the news. Its a waste of time and the only thing it does is brainwash people in favor of their own enslavement because they have never learned to T-H-I-N-K Rationally.
