Since the Viet Nam era, I have had no confidence in the veracity of media reporting; syndicated newspapers or syndicated television reporting on issues I had other ways of knowing the truth about were, and yet are, spun so as to distort truth with innuendos and half truths with the intent to cast a bad light on our Republic. It gets worse with time and has become nothing more than a propaganda mill. They deal ONLY in sensationalism - anything they can twist into something negative. I live where cable or satellite is required to receive television and I have no TV because I refuse to pay to watch that garbage which is roughly 50% commercial time on syndicated productions. Journalism is a thing of the past. What you get now is commentary with an agenda. No thanks.
