With all due respect Fangs, your use of the word "scary" is frankly scary.

I by all means understand that every administration distorts the truth. That is simply human nature, call it propaganda, manipulation or whatever. Thay all do it.

There is no such thing as an unbiased news source. Unintentional but mostly intentional, everything has a slant and I think most of us understand that. To counter that, my news sources include moderate, ultra conservative, ultra liberal as well as international news agencies. I want to see the facts and alternate facts from various perspectives. That said, I absolutely detest the talking heads that try and tell me how to think. That goes for all of them....Maddow, Cooper, Bannon, Carlson, Rogan to name a few. Their words and perspectives are utterly worthless, in my opinion. I want simple facts or alternate facts and I'll decide how to interpret those.

Freedom of the press is the only way guarantee accountably. It's imperative to understand which information the administration releases is accurate, semi-accurate or complete BS. We can't do that without the press. Regardless of your opinion of a particular administration, criticism is an absolute necessity. Scary would be anything but that.
