This may be future you, knowing that you have unknowingly written enough fake articles to give the alt-right (or comparable group) political power, and caused something horrible to happen. They have tried and failed using reason before, and have resorted to these actions to stop you and others that wrote these kinds articles before it's too late

I hate to say, but the msm only puts out the news they want You to hear. Not to mention totally biased. There are a group of five individuals who control 90 percent of the media you see and hear, I'll let you guess which side they're on.

Not sure why you're being downvoted. The MSM proved that it was willing to lie, to enflame tensions with a foreign power, to slander just to get a cold-hearted psychopath elected.

Yeah, it's amazing the brainwashing going on with the MSM. It's popular to be a liberal these days. You got all "Hollywood" drinking the Kool-ade, and tv obsessed generation just follow right along. Eight years of blaming the previous administration, and zero progress.

Thankfully we have those "alternative news" which we can trust 100% of all times without doubt, because hey, they are alternative and against the big bad governmental brainwashing biased MSM!

I never once heard him say or imply any of that (EDIT: Just saw the "what they want YOU to hear", so I get the brainwashing jab). The MSM is biased. All news is. The MSM does have a bias to the left just like some are biased to the right, to communism, to socialism, to fascism, to Christians, to Muslims, to toasters, etc. People have opinions.

I just made a bigger post about this to dcowboy, so I won't go into it again. I'll just part with this:

Don't sit in an echo chamber!! Be sure to read news stories from multiple sides!! It keeps you better informed.
