The News Used To Tell You Something Happened..

The news used to tell you something happened
and then you had to decide what you thought about it.
Now the news tells you how to think about something
and you have to decide if if even happened.

Critical thinking skills urgently needed.



Although it has gotten grimly
worse in recent years, news merchants have always misled you.

Remember the adage: Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one.

And my personal favorite from Mark Twain:
If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you're mis-informed.”
