News Blues

A traverse a lot of news stations when I actually watch the news, which is, itself, becoming a rare event these days. My first observation is that there is no truly objective news on TV, and probably elsewhere, which, I am sure, will surprise both CNN and Fox viewers. Both of these particular networks are guilty of sins of omission and commission, as it pertains to the left-right narrative that they are constantly spinning. I cannot stand to watch either one of them, so I watch them both, and like a spectator sitting mid-court at a tennis match, I feel like I am seeing the game much more clearly than if were on either end of the court or either player, for that matter. It is an ugly game. It cannot be won by either ‘side’. It can only be lost by everyone.
