The problem with cable news networks that choose to focus on just one side of any issue is the issue which this title describes. Nothing produced on FOX news is new news at all. The only ting new about FOX news is the fact that FOX news IS the news today and that's a huge journalistic mistake, at least ethically. Even so, it's also true that at any given time, whomever disagrees with any president at that time will become, "The Anti-President of the USA," news network of that day and age.
Sometimes the negative news is produced from ABC or CBS, but then again, it can be NBC who will choose to produce half truths with anti-facts about anti-this or anti-that. It's just a familiar way to blow the other side's minds, so they will begin to rant and rave about what the other side claims, which then generates high ratings for the news group who produced only half the truth in the first place, which goes both ways. It's confusing, but the news confuses you for a reason. Americans just tend to stereotype, and through our stereotypical views, we only chose to see, hear and believe half the truth. That's what creates extreme political opinions which more often than not, have nothing to do with the truth. This is especially true when we choose to think the news is only true if the news tends to agree with our political views.
This issue became huge due to the facts of the past, when the only source of the news came through three networks news groups, which were limited to ABC, CBS and NBC, who used to produce the news through an unbiased view of nothing but the truth as it related to the facts at that time. The problem with mixing the truth and the opinionated political news that derives from huge social issues is the fact that Americans tend to look through stereotypical and opinionated views, which means we only want to watch what we individually want to believe is true. That's why it's a huge issue, because you see, opinions derived through a stereotypical view very seldom have anything to do with the truth and nothing but the whole truth. Still, that's exactly what created the need for cable news networks.
Due to our right and the liberty to think, say and do what we choose, we want to see those who speak with the opinions to which we agree wholeheartedly. That's great, but when a camera is focused on one side all the time, we only become the witness to half the truth. Still, we want to hear what agrees with our stereotypical ears through a view that seems to prove all those words we've heard and ranted or raved about have spoken the truth. Since we tend to believe that anything we read is true and what we see on TV is a fact based on reality, it falsely allows us to think that the political philosophy we choose must be the right thing for any half way intelligent president to do That's why ABC, CBS and NBC gave birth to cable news networks as a way to bridge the gap between the truth and what people want to hear and see on radio and TV.
Still, when we begin to actually believe everything we see and hear on the stereotypical, if not extremely opinionated view of the cable news network we choose, who produces only one side of the truth, that's when we'll begin to say, "All democrats boycott what any and/or all conservative loves to watch, and especially if it's FOX," but that's not always true. Believe me, because you see, I'm the proof that in fact, democrats still watch FOX news.
As someone who has recently become affectionately known as, "a little liberal legally blind Obama mama who voted for a black democrat," I was born and raised in the Lone Star State among a bunch of right winged and freaked out conservative republicans, so I can honestly say it's not true that all conservatives love FOX news, nor is it true that all democrats, even those legally blind little liberals like me, have chosen to boycott what all conservatives watch, not even FOX. In fact, everywhere I go, even in the comfort of my own home, I've GOT to watch FOX all the time, no matter how much it blows my mind. The only times I can watch CNN is when everyone I know is fast asleep or too exhausted from being enraged all day to pay attention to the TV anyway.
As a matter of fact, since some of us democrats still have to live among a bunch of conservative republicans who choose to watch FOX news all day and half the night, all news networks should agree to listen to people like me, if they ever feel the need to produce the whole truth about cable network news, which is this:
Every single cable network news group who produces what they claim to be, "the news," produced on world wide TV screens today have one goal in mind at all times. "RATINGS," are what motivates FOX news, which is also true when it comes to CNN, CNBC and/or MSNBC. Then again, since half the country still chooses to watch CNN and/or MSNBC, it's ridiculous news and untrue for FOX to claim that they are "AMERICA'S NEWS SOURCE," of course. That's why the whole world believes that only republicans who look through a conservative view are true blue Americans who seek the truth, which of course will need to be viewed only through the source of FOX news. Although it seems true when that's the only view you look through, it's obviously not true at all.
Still, the truth can be seen when we choose to watch all the news through a diverse group of network views. That's when you'll see very clearly that all cable network news groups intend to drive us to the brink of insanity until we've all completely lost our minds. They all create damage to both the left and right side of our brains every day. After all, people who rant and rave in insane ways is exactly what creates high ratings. In fact, more than a few political talk show hosts actually get paid to make people afraid. That's why my own grown conservative son actually believes CNN stands for the "Communist Network News." It's true but it's also a lie some of us choose to hide behind, and the truth is that only Rush Limbaugh, a radio loud mouthed talk show host, will admit the truth when it comes to the opinionated view of FOX news.
It's interesting that in fact, a formerly fat radio politically opinionated talk show host is more often than not seen on interviews with all politically based talk shows seen on any and all network news programs on any given day. Why? I didn't know until the other day when I watched an interview with him on NBC, of all networks on earth, where he admitted the truth when it comes to opinionated news. When asked, "What is it that motivates what you do," his reply simply blew my liberal mind. "My only motivation is to achieve high ratings, which generates a great income for me," he actually admitted on NBC. That fact is why Rush Limbaugh said himself that he would not advise the GOP to think of him as their conservative guru in any way, shape or form, but who knew Rush Limbaugh would tell the truth at all, much less on NBC news a group who tends to support who the conservatives hate?
Apparently Rush Limbaugh is not a know it all after all, but even though he admitted it on NBC, there will be no conservative who will ever believe it's true and Rush Limbaugh is not the conservative leader at all, due to the fact that conservatives never watch NBC or MSNBC at all. It's a frustrating issue for me, because you see, if I repeat what I heard on FOX news, people say I'm just brainwashed by that sly Fox news. Then again, if I repeat anything I heard on CNN, they'll say I'm just an Obama fan and a communist to boot. Then again, if I say anything about what I heard on MSNBC at all, they'll all accuse me of being a little, liberal and legally blind freak who will agree to drink toxic kool-aide from a dixie cup just because Obama said so, so you see, the news creates huge issues for us Americans who have the right to think, say, do and listen to what and whom we choose. NO ONE knows the truth and we ALL believe the lies any cable TV network hides behind.
If you watch an interview with Rush Limbaugh on FOX, he'll appear to be the king of the GOP, but then again, If you went out on a limb to watch NBC now and then, you'd see a whole different side of him. He can actually be polite sometimes and he is actually a man who does not discriminate against any particular race or political view at all. He hates it all. He complains, rants and raves about everyone in the USA. In fact, he will agree to hate and/or disgrace anyone, depending on whose network interviews him at any given time. Whomever they support will be the one Rush hates, as a way to generate the ratings he gets anytime a news group produces his face and the way he rants and raves through a view of fear based hate. He gets paid to make people enraged!
In fact, Rush Limbaugh admitted the fact that HE practically gave birth to Glen Beck, so I'll bet that neither of these FOX news publicized men know anything about anything at all, politically speaking or not. They simply get paid to generate fear based hate, which creates the ratings FOX news needs to be able to honestly claim to be, "America's news source," of course.
This means the whole world watching FOX news then begins to believe that every American is a conservative republican who agrees that we all need to be, "Anti-Obama," so that we can do what only Glen Beck bets will take the country back from the Anti-Christ who is trying to rule our lives, when in fact, the majority of Americans obviously chose to vote for Obama in the first place. That fact leads to the fact that since we all watch FOX news to produce the proof of the truth through our own view of reality, the whole world then begins to believe that all Americans are just nuts.
After all, if we claim to be a free society where the majority elects the President of the United States, but at the same time, "America's best news source," will then only produce what half the USA rants, raves and complains about all day, THAT'S what makes us all look insane. When FOX news complains about the same guy the majority of Americans picked in the first place, and of course, claims to be America's news source, that's why the rest of the world thinks we're all a bunch of hypocrites who are never satisfied or justified by what we claim to be the truth. They don't know that within the USA, the truth always depends on which view you look through on any given day.
It can be entertaining and it would be fun, if it wasn't such a disgraceful way to disrespect and disgrace the President of the USA who the majority of Americans agreed to elect, and yet, FOX news will agree to abuse the truth and use free speech as an excuse to be rude just to achieve the ratings they get when the whole world watches FOX news too, as if it was true that they really are America's favorite source of news. Then again, the same could be said about CNN and MSNBC, although at least they never claimed to be, "American's only news source," of course. Still, two wrongs multiplied by lies we all hide behind won't make either political opinion right, much less wise.
That's why any time I need to get to the truth of the news, I go to Facebook which seems to be the only media type who won't depend on half truths and/or political hype in order to choose which side of any issue to produce. Believe me, if you become a friend of any friend of any relative on Facebook, you'll begin to see the truth and nothing but the truth when it comes to any and all political news issues on any given day, all day and half the night too. It's either that, or I choose to watch CNN which tends to represent more views of half the truth. Otherwise, I'd personally advise that you only watch FOX news for its entertainment value.
Still, if you do choose to watch FOX news, you'll need to go out on a limb and listen to MSNBC now and then, at least to achieve a balanced abuse of the truth. That way, you too can do what all Americans tend to do. When we choose to believe a political opinion that's focused on one side all the time, it's the American way to hide behind lies, so why don't we open our eyes and minds to find the wisdom it takes to change the channel sometimes? Those who do will see the whole truth. Besides, we, "the people," will be like a spot light, who shines the light of truth on those who hide behind lies motivated by greed at the cost of mankind, and the light will also shine on those who don't know it all after all. That's what the true news will always produce.
