4. I gave up on television news years ago, especially local news.

I hated that the anchors were so chatty and would comment on the stories: "That's good news, Amanda" "It certainly is, Jackson" or "Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims." I didn't want to hear their opinion or their thoughts and prayers; I just wanted to hear the NEWS.

I get my news from DU, which I check everyday, or the internet. Occasionally, if it's a huge news story, I might turn on MSNBC, but that doesn't happen very often.

When I took Journalism classes in junior high (as it was called back then), we were instructed not to slant the story to the left or to the right; to just present the facts; and let people draw their own conclusions. Boy, have times changed.
