EVERY weekday morning: 📰 TV reporters- it was 20-25min of; rape, rape-murder, car jacking/murder, gang murder, break-in murder, sex crime-murder. 😯

      This is nice, but we already have 'We Lie to You News" on the"Awaken with JP" channel , Off topic but as an investing enthusiast, I often wonder how veteran investors get rich off dividends.

    The main thing missing was the anchors mentioning results of a clinical science study on behaviour, food, biology, medication, products to purchase, etc. without mentioning the sample pool size, where it was conducted, possible confirmation bias from participants, the large majority of lab results that disprove the hypothesis, how weak the results were, that other factors contributed to positive or negative results which render the whole thing inconclusive, or that the study was funded by an organization that would profit off the marketed public response the news story would create.

      From the north part of the Florida coastline through about the central coast of South Carolina, we're usually pretty safe from hurricanes unless the jet streams steer a storm right into us. Doesn't stop our local broadcasters from messing themselves anytime a tropical system forms. We usually get some close brushes and residual effects, but nothing major. Riding out a Category 4 storm is not an experience I would choose to repeat, but I really wish these journalists were more concerned with truth than ratings.

    Yeah. Scary accurate. Reminds me of a comedy show on HBO decades ago called, "Not necessarily the news."
    News has become another form of entertainment.
    So new agnecies attempt to milk it and tailor it as best they can when there isn't anything more likely to get peoples eye-balls.

    Ah man. I was just talking with my coworkers about this the other week. They were telling me about a news story about some people being killed in another country by a bomb, and the I asked them, so what are you gonna do now that you have that information? They replied,well there's nothing I can do about it but I need to be informed, to which I asked them, stay informed to do what? The news is designed to keep you fearful and stressed out. Because if you constantly afraid and stressed, you won't feel motivated to actually go out in the world in create impactful societal change, which is the whole point.
    Not to mention, the more depressed and bummed out more, the more you'll want to spend on material things to make yourself feel better--the very material things from the sponsors of the news you watch.
    I still do Google News where I can customize what news I want to hear about mainly just to do my podcasts and write pieces about sociopolitical issues. Other that, I do my mental health the favor of not watching the news.
