GMA. All of their news is based on opinion. All of their interviews are written in advance and read from a teleprompter. If you think respondents answer questions in a spontaneous way, think again.
There is a new show on the Starz channel that will make you feel like we're approaching the End Times, and it's (fittingly) called Now Apocalypse.
Here's an excerpt from a review of the show that tells you all you need to know...
Hailing from the minds of New Queer Cinema legend Gregg Araki and Vogue sex columnist Karley Sciortino, the new Starz series follows bisexual protagonist Ulysses (Avan Jogia) and his friends as they pursue love, sex and fame in Los Angeles. The show is literally everything a queer audience would want.
Unfortunately, Saturday Night Live. I grew up watching it and loved it. Now it is nothing but an hour and a half of political propaganda.
I'd get rid of the three hour block on Fox news with Cucker Tarlson, hannity, and Ingraham. It should be called, "Things we made up to keep you mad at liberals and other assorted propaganda." Fox has some decent programming but those three are just assholes.
Ugh
Plenty of assholes and misinformation specialists to go around. Personally, I'd 86 MSNBC but it's a endemic problem in "journalism" these days across the board.
This will not be popular (buut neither have I been all my life sooo I'm used to it) but The Walking Dead and any other zombie shows or movies. Zombies creep-me-out. When I am sick and have a fever I always have zombie dreams. I don't know why. So help me I believe the very concept of the living dead is demonic.
To keep this one on the rails let's just all agree that political pundits on EITHER side are essentially worthless. Regardless of your side of the aisle or network of choice, getting your opinions from people who are often unqualified, make money telling you what you want to hear, and have an obvious agenda is a bad idea. The definition of pundit used to mean an expert or learned person..from an Indian/Hindu term. Now it has been superceded by "a source of opinion".
IMO, Country would be a lot better if people on both sides realized the difference and stopped taking what these "entertainers" say as being gospel truth.
Corporate media isn't journalism. They stick with the formula that gets the most viewers. For Fox news it's always been saying whatever the conservative viewership wants to hear and keeping them mad at liberals. Currently MSNBC and CNN just talk Trump nonstop, but it's always about getting ratings and making money. Unfortunately substantive reporting and discussions on policy isn't a big money maker. I used those three from Fox because they are particularly egregious and others had already criticized "liberal" shows, so I thought I'd bring a different perspective to keep things fair and balanced.
Warning from a Mod in 3....2....1? lol
It's been civil so far
Well, not to start some kind of forum brawl here, but I was just about to say, the entire CNN network. Even if I was the most neutral person on Earth and had no feelings whatsoever about politics or liberal vs conservative, or WHATEVER....I honest to God cannot for the life of me see what anybody gets out of turning on CNN for the last 2 years and all you hear is one attack after another against our current president. Gees almight God, LET IT GO!!!!!!
I know some of the most liberal people in the world who told me they are sick of it as well, so you know it's gotten out of hand. I honestly think that if a giant asteroid was headed towards Earth and we only had 24 ours before the Apocalypse, you could turn on CNN and it would only be running on the news ticker at the bottom of the screen while they are talking about more Russian collusion or something. Anyway, don't get angry...JMHO.
Without a doubt, First Take with Stephen A. Smith. I cannot STAND that guy. He doesn't even possess the ability to speak an objective sentence, and every word out of his mouth is condescending even when directed at guests that HE ASKS to be on his show. He's one of those people that always thinks they're word is the gospel and won't hear otherwise from anyone. Not to mention he's always yelling for some reason which drives me bat sh*t. Does anyone else feel the same way?
Side note - shows like the Kardashians are definitely garbage but I thought I would choose one on a topic/network that I actually enjoy watching (sometimes).
I'm on record as saying that the pundits on BOTH sides are garbage but I could just as easily say that Fox is nothing but how great Trump is and how persecuted the poor guy is, how every problem in this country is the fault of Obama/Hillary, or cherrypicked stories about MS-13 gang members that are currently planning to murder/rape all good white people and take over the country.
All of them.
Nothing but sports for me. The world is a bad enough place without seeing how s**pid everyone is.
Agreed....I'll probably get scoulded by the mods for saying this, but...as a Pastor and 'man of the cloth' (lol) it's just a crying shame that this country can't come together and unite. Jesus tried to tell us that on the Sermon on the Mount but no one seems to wanna listen; 'A house divided cannot stand.' This nation isn't going to stand much long either, as divided as it is now. Again...JMHO.
I'm with you on the yelling. It's a big reason why I get most of my news online these days. I don't watch tv to hear some guy shout at me or to interpret what's going on as they're talking over each other. Mostly, they're just attempting to force their point or get in the best zinger. They do that for their ego and I couldn't give less of a crap about that.
@ugaforever There really is only one "news-person" that works directly (and violently) upon my stomach exactly like the old-school **** inducing medicine that was called "Ipecac"- that substance which was once upon a time used a very long time ago by U.S. Mama's everywhere across the country to induce vomiting in cases where a child (like me, as a wee little guy back in the 1960s, and or the slightly older me later on, in the early 1970s) that may have ingested some kind of household poison. That "news-person" that has that effect on me today??? He is none other than CNN's Don Lemon!!! I simply turn the channel right away, or I immediately switch the TV to OFF, AND I DO IT REALLY, REALLY FAST!!!! Other than that? I can easily just browse around at all of the crappy sludge, garbage, and filth everywhere, and calmly change channels on just about anything else that there is, without really being too disturbed about it much at all. Maybe it's simply because he IS AN L.S.U. guy????? That MIGHT explain it all. GO DAWGS!!!
Better question for me is which would one I keep. Outside of my reality TV...college football, hockey, baseball, etc., I haven't watched broadcast TV in 12 years. Give me football--the rest can just go away.
Oh, come on man....I'm about to be 50 and I will admit; The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones are our 'guilty pleasures'...lol
