In this modern day, when there are unlimited sources for the news we read, see, or hear, you can spend hours and hours reading, watching, or hearing things others have defined as news. Unfortunately, there might be too much, and one should wonder what information can be trusted.<\/p>\n
I am the first to admit that I find \u201cnews\u201d interesting, and I read a lot of news from several different sources. For most of the information I read, I can tell the author has a definite \u201clean\u201d in what they are reporting or how they are reporting. By lean, I mean their political stance \u2013 right or left. Some authors are ridiculous with their reporting, right or left, and aren\u2019t so much reporting news as they are sharing their opinions and calling it news.<\/p>\n
Just the other day, I happened to come across a piece of news that told readers that articles of impeachment are being filed against President Trump \u2013 again.<\/p>\n
I can\u2019t help but think there must be much more important things our elected officials need to spend their time on.<\/p>\n
As much as I\u2019d like to feel confident that the things I read, see, and hear are accurate and honest, I don\u2019t. It wasn\u2019t that long ago I believed the news and news reporters, but that day feels long gone. Anymore, the things we all get disguised as news feel more like the authors are following an agenda to either boost or destroy someone\u2019s credibility.<\/p>\n
There are things I\u2019d like to believe will become fact \u2013 like no tax on Social Security payments \u2013 but I don\u2019t have a lot of faith it will happen.<\/p>\n
Some things I\u2019ve heard President Trump would like to change about Congress are how they are paid, how long they can serve, what health insurance they will have to use, and not allowing them to vote on their pay increases \u2013 and more. What\u2019s interesting about these proposed changes is that Congress will probably have to vote on the changes and I\u2019m not sure it will because the changes force Congress members to live more like us common folk.<\/p>\n
Or was the aforementioned just part of someone\u2019s fake news?<\/p>\n
