Jefferson said, “a mnn who doesn’t read the news everyday is uninformed, a man who does read the news everyday is misinformed.”

“Jefferson said, “a mnn who doesn’t read the news everyday is uninformed, a man who does read the news everyday is misinformed.””

I don’t care that newspapers and the rest of the MSM lie. I would prefer they came out of the closet and announced they were the spokespeople for the Democrat party. Would make life a lot less stressful.

stockpirate :" Jefferson said, “a mnn who doesn’t read the news everyday is uninformed,
a man who does read the news everyday is misinformed.”

That is why I look to FreeRepublic for up to date information,
except for the politically aligned comments, FR gives me recent information that is unbiased.
I look to Drudge , FR, and foreign news sources for accurate information with out the political BS.
Most Mainstream information sources (ABCBSNBCFAUXCNBS) are just propaganda sources for (josh)Ernest news to solidify the current political establishment.
At least with FR , one has to verify the news source when posting; and one must consider the news source, due to bias.
Newspapers are , by their very existence , " a day late, and a dollar short " for recent history, dependent on editorial content and opinion.

If you don’t read the newspaper, you’re uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you’re mis-informed.”

I’m 52, and probably on the generational boarder of a newspaper reader and not. Yes, I read my morning paper, but to be clear, I live in a smaller community where the local paper is largely local stuff (road construction, new stores going in, old ones being torn down, local sports and school news, etc., with some local crime mixed in). They have to include a USA Today section to make the paper three full sections.

I enjoy reading it. I would miss it if it were gone. Keeps me aware. Not a primary news source for national or global news. Just a morning ritual that I have breakfast to.

our local paper seems to carry the water for the local weed industry, making the "business" just peachy and clean and wonderful..

yesterday they decided to run an article on witches and their little sewing circle....again, just peachy and clean and wonderful....
