Each morning when I get up and start stirring around one of the first things I try to do is catch up on the news of the country. Being retired from the media business I fully understand that the national news that comes across the air waves or through the printed word has become more and more opinion pieces than factual news.
We do have some good journalists that report the facts but we have so many socalled journalists that report to the public the news with twisted facts and their opinions mixed in. This is what the world is crying for and it is a shame that we, the general public, is allowing it to go on.
Not only in the news media but in our family conversations, school functions, church meetings, and other non-national events we are allowing opinions to rule over the truth. Many marriages are torn apart due to lack of truthful information to each other. It seems that little white lies have become the norm and is being taught to our youth and children that it is okay to twist the truth.
