4. I grew up with Walter Cronkite and the rest. I trusted the news people to keep things straight.

Toi tell me the truth at least as they were able to figure it out. But at least they honestly tried to be honest. I hate, hate, hate that the media has become what it is - both biased and only into sensationalism. Anything to create a "thing" especially if it can be escalated into a conflict of some sort. Pisses me off no end. Money has truly become the end goal, not an informed public. Makes me feel really stupid and naïve as well as angry that they are betraying the trust and the past history. Yes, I know yellow journalism has been around for ever, but some how these days it feels different. Especially starting with trump. What's wrong with fighting for the truth and publishing that? Used to love the NYTs, can't read it these days. Wash Post even ticks me off these days. Why post/publish articles and editorials that are designed to be sensational and misleading? What happened to the Third Estate? Yea, I know, money....
