You need news. You just don't need "The News"

Curated news is necessary. Just like your brain cuts out most of the information your senses make available, a dependable curated source of news that can filter irrelevancy and enhance and explain in depth events as the develop is critical to having an educated populace.

We just don't have such a dependable news curator anymore so we're all stuck in little self-reinforcing filter-bubbles that are maximized to sell us ads and not to inform us so we become ever more tribalistic and easy to manipulate.

The healthiest, most successful, people I knew grew up in homes without TVs. No, we don't need the poison.

We don't need the police either. With video cameras everywhere many things are obsolete.

I'd much rather have police and no cameras.

Fuck that. I'm not suggesting we get rid of cops, but cameras are way too important a tool to be negotiable.

Not only don’t you need it, you should actively avoid it. Takes about a year to clear the mind of its corruption and influence

Actually, I rethought it and, I guess we do need news, since not everyone can know about every Twitter account. But not MSM. As I said, people who don't understand why Trump is great for American generally get their info second hand, but they watch edited videos instead of raw footage of the POTUS and many other things. People should teach each other to pay attention to local info as well. Thanks for reading and God bless Trump! WWG1WGA

I totally agree. If they actually reported the truth as it should be they could be useful. Those days are gone now, the public will never be able to trust the MSM ever again. They have screwed themselves out of a job and purpose with their own hands. They started spewing forth pollution and after years of it the people are waking up. Thanks to DJT he has exposed it at a level that history has never seen before.

Facts and truth are different, one is a belief. They've been trying to blur that line for some time now

Once you start finding & vetting the news yourself it is impossible to go back & read/listen to anything MSM (Fox included). About the only thing I use those for is to see what is trending (with them). That is educational as you will often see a total non-story plastered across all MSM outlets with no mention at all of others with real national importance. They really are all lying fucks.

This^. I get impatient with FOX even when I am watching just Hannity or Tucker Carlson. Haven't watched the regular news programs on FOX for years. It's not news. There's a reason they call it network "programming."

Bingo. Media outlets are all co-opted establishment filters of reality... Filtered to suite the current narrative needs.
