Don't watch the news !

The ability, or the will, of the news to report the news is in serious trouble. The more I watch the less I learn. Their main objective is to not report the facts but to confuse people and present the side of the corporation or group that gives them the most money.
Integrity seems to be a lost art in the field of journalism. The main focus of reporting today is to dupe the American public. It really does not seem that hard now a days. People seem to be locked in some ideology warp where they just believe what their particular Religion, party or employer tells them.
I am at a loss for words in this situation. I believe hardly anything I hear. People lie as easy as they smile. Everyone seems interested in things like new phones,TV's and money. No one seems to care about anything that matters. If I wrote a post on FB that my stomach hurt I would get 23 comments. If I wrote a post that said there was a severe food shortage in Texas, no one would comment.
Everyone owns a gun and no one seems to care that it is legal to sell almost any kind of weapon or ammunition. More and more people walk around armed. The whole situation is nuts. Health care is way too expensive and no one cares! Our children read at a 5th. Gr. Level and no one cares. Most of our major cities are overrun with gangs and no one cares. TV programs are filthy and so are reality TV shows. No one seems to care. Food prices are on the rise and clean drinking water is becoming scarce. Our leaders are worried about birth control and killing some half assed health care law. What a country! We ignore the real problems and bitch about the unimportant ones. We have lost the moral high ground to tell any country or culture how to behave or act.
