You just summed yourselves up..
A Selective Paranoia - "free for all that we have now"
If you rely on so-called news organisations for your information you will never have the correct information to make an informed comment
Its no easy , I freely admit that , but what happens is a so-called news organisation sets and agenda despite any facts, then they rent a talking head or three, politicians and the like , they then print or broadcast an hysterical story to fit their owners prejudice and then that ' story' nonsense gets re reported as fact, complete with so called authoritative quotes
And so it goes
It is sick
I have experience of such
