WHAT HAPPENED TO INTEGRITY IN REPORTING?

 It seems we've been thrust into a new era very quickly.  So many things have changed, but are they for the better?  Are the days when we could trust our news reports gone?  I'm not choosing sides or pointing fingers.  I sincerely think this should be a major concern to ALL Americans.    As it is now, our major news media can tilt opinions concerning political candidates very easily.  They use a lot of "Maybe", "Could be" terms rather than investigating and giving us the truth, the facts.  News reporters should not be influencer's.  They should not practice biased reporting and they should not pick and choose what to tell you and what not to tell you.  Do you agree?  And how do we do something about it?  Please don't pick on any one news station, we all know they all do it.

I welcome RESPECTFUL debates and differing opinions but will delete any remarks I deem made for the sake of merely being rude.  I hope that when it comes to politics we are all passionate about what we believe in.  I fully believe this is a good thing!  If you are going to comment just know WHY you believe that and be prepared to explain your stance with tolerance and respect that others have that same right and passion...
