Almost News

 What's worse than fake news? Answer: Almost News. Fake News is easily refuted, change the channel or fact check elsewhere. Fake News is just another word for lying. The invention of the Internet and Social Media has opened the door to liars everywhere. There is also a never ending supply of suckers to follow the yarn spun. The advent of Cable News and Opinion Shows has created a competition for the ratings. Ratings equal advertising dollars. Gone forever is mainstream 600: PM nightly news where events reported were similar regardless of channel selected. CNN was once a highly respected news source reporting live happening now.  Reporting live from Bagdad in a hotel room as bombing could be seen through windows of the room without electricity. US Marines beach landings in Africa greeted by CNN. Those were the days. CNN changed hands and new officers elected to plant lies at 7:00 am shows then report on the lies all day until the 10:00 pm news declares the report is not authentic. Followed by a quite retraction with apology at 7:00 am the next day. The Internet unleashed a fire storm of outrageous claims to compete for the Suckers attention. Born from this the Doozy Smolette School of journalism is a level of skepticism of logical viewers forced to wade through the daily lies in search of the truth. Nowhere is this more important than elections for representation. Nowhere is the lying any greater than Politics. Far worse is what I call is Almost News. Almost News is where journalists spout  outrageous claims are forthcoming any day, stay tuned. Rush Limbaugh who said if you have a bombshell. then you damn well better be able to produce same. Seldom is the claim produced but the date of release is extended time and again until all interest is lost. I'm talking about the Russia Probe which is supposed to bring down the FBI. Or the extortion of Hunter Biden in Ukraine. Or the Impeachment of President Trump. A lot of Pomp with no Circumstance. Now WE The People are Immersed in who won the election. Who will lead in the White House in January? Wild stories of Supreme Court decisions which will reverse the Presidency in the Executive Branch. I honestly don't know which is worse. The hope we will correct the election or the Election we know is bogus. We can remove bad politicians but how do we clean the Media. You can denounce CNN for the Donna Brasille incident in the 2016 Debates. Four years later they continue with similar lies. Spread to ABC CBS and NBC I have seen live broadcast from the White House that followed with Journalists appraisals and comments that never reflect what I saw, what I heard Live Real Time. Delivered as News Contributors confused facts. What the hell is a News Contributor? Journalism is not an expression of endorsement. We don't care if you like the guy, just tell me what the asshole said. I don't like the guy either. That's not what we pay him for. Do the job is all I expect. Journalism is supposed to be facts reported upon. I don't need a corrupt Media to spread propaganda about who won the Election. I saw it happen. I saw the phony mail in ballots come in early morning the next day. We count the votes as proof over and over to prove we have a valid result. We Never Check to see if the Ballots are Authentic. They are NOT and Everyone knows it.  There is no evidence is hogwash, pure hogwash. We should not need evidence, all we need is suspicion to trigger investigations. What we have done is destroy America and the Constitution. Nobody it seems is strong enough to bring truth to America. So President Trump, Nancy Pelosi and Lindsey Graham don't show me the almost news. Show me the truth and back it with your reputations. Tell it like it is not how it's gonna be. It's a wide open market for anyone ready to take the position for truth. We are in uncharted ground ready to inaugurate a President who does not have the support of a majority. I predict a rough ride for the next 2 years regardless of who is in the White House.....  Happy Trails Suckers Tom
