Is it all just propaganda to fulfill a carefully planned agenda? Where do I go to really know? What is the truth; am I a sleuth? If I cannot trust the evening news, I'll just stay home and sing the blues!

The news isn't always factual. The current desire is for entertainment. You got it right.

I find it sad that the sound bites of the news and those responding to it are so brief. We as a society have such short attention spans.

well said words and a brilliantly constructed. I realized when I was in college that journalists when not held to a standard of integrity would fall victim to being the propaganda perpetrator. Today, the 'propaganda' agenda is quite obvious. So I don't watch the news. enough said. enjoy your day, Sara
