Time, Newsweek, HuffPo, and a long list of others have become nothing more than propaganda outlets (similar to Breitbart, Savage Nations, etc.) Their intent is to inflame & deceive, not inform. Until recently I tried to use two main sources of news (NPR & FoxNews) to get a balanced view of issues, but even those two are becomming more biased rather than informing me with straight facts and letting me make up my own mind. It is the media that is driving the polarization in this country. People are more divided than at any other time I can remember, and I was in high school during the late 1960s. When I was growing up it was OK to have a different opinion than someone else, but now if you have a different opinion those with another one try to destroy you. Take a look at what's happening on college campii. If the radicals don't like a speaker, not only do they not want to hear it, they don't want YOU to hear it either. They will use violence to stop it. This is Fascism pure and simple. Most of the media is now ideologically driven and anything but neutral. Ever hear real criticism of Obama's failings? Rarely, and quickly dropped. Ever hear of any of Trump's success? Never, except on FoxNews and on rare occasions NPR. Most of the rest of the media seems to have become Pravda and Izvestia. This is very, very dangerous for a democracy. Despite a diligent search I'm unable to find an organization that will give me the straight story. Lies and calculated deception flow freely, and the population seems to be losing its ability to do its own critical thinking. Meanwhile, we arm ourselves because of the increasing distrust. No one seems willing to step up and diffuse things. This may not end well.
