I keep bothering me on news anchors who keep spamming their opinions about every subject they have to read out

I watch the news for the facts, not for what someone thinks about a certain situation

Guess this is mostly US based news

@stux I just find the shoutiness of American news too much. It's total cringe

Föderation EN Mo 31.03.2025 14:50:03

@stux they need to tell their viewers what to think otherwise the viewers won't think at all.

Föderation EN Mo 31.03.2025 14:50:42

@PetterOfCats Oh i hate that

Never ever tell me what to think looooool!

Föderation EN Mo 31.03.2025 14:50:21

@stux
and Canadian news.
It's Extremely annoying!

Föderation EN Mo 31.03.2025 14:53:58

Hmm maybe it's just me

With the current dictatorship in the US of freaking A is news actually news or is it just propaganda?

Nvm, i know

It's propaganda, either way

@stux

Hate to say it, but it's been nothing but propaganda for decades...
All "news" channels are simply entertainment based loosely on current events. It's been this way since around the time Walter Cronkite retired.

@admin true, true, but in recent years it's become a looad worse it seems

Föderation EN Mo 31.03.2025 15:39:38

@stux

It's not any worse - it's just that you don't agree with any of it during this administration, where you only disagreed with a little bit of the previous administration.

Perception and Reality are two different things entirely.

@stux I don’t think its just you. From a european* perspective, what I see occasionally is like super-sensational news alerts (not speaking of the obvious propaganda channels). AFAIK expats commonly report the same experiences.

*germany specifically, where one of the most notable event on the news is the annual announcement of the youth words of the year

@stux Given how they’re not covering protests, something huge happening constantly in the states right now, I’d wager propaganda.

Then again, it’s been propaganda since before WWII

@stux In New York City, the big media companies bought out the 3 local news stations, shut them down except for one, and started it spewing right wing propaganda.

De-regulation of broadcast media in Reagan, Bush, and Trump administrations is responsible.

@stux one of my pet peeves too. Just read the facts! Canadian news anchors do this too….and they have silly conversations with each other. Trying to be celebrities maybe?
