Just the Facts, Ma'am

Subtitled: "And that's the way it is."
I wanted to turn in early tonight but that's not working out too well.
I let the Jim Acosta thing slide by with little comment but changed my mind and direction as I stood at the urinal at work with a TV over my head (sports bar type setting) and watched a commercial, stunned.
"We're on a mission from God". Well, maybe not from God, and not we, but I am...or so I thought. Tonight we, I, take a detour.
I won't rehash anti-Trump sentiment for the last 2 years. I won't blast CNN and their little dog too much. I won't even point to the time when the press went off the rails and tried to start to make policy for the American public. I won't even point out the symbolism of the sound the automatic toilet made as I stepped back to watch a commercial finish. Besides calling attention to all these things that I said I won't do.
I am, as the host of SaltyTalkRadio.com would say,...flummoxed.
It's not news anymore as the subtitle suggests, its opinion. Bob Woodward even bashed Fox for siding with CNN for bouncing Acosta out. Why!?! Bob, take down the President of the United States, Woodward wants reporters, not journalists, to report the news. And during an investigation, report the facts. Investigation is cool. Facts are just as cool. Oh! BTW! Your opinion is NOT FACT! It is your opinion and your can feel this way but how you feel is NOT NEWS!.
The subtitle eludes to a time when TV Anchors read the news. Just read it. I do catch some talk radio on the way to and from work and still understand that it is sprinkled with opinions, most of which I lean towards but I do listen for things that are left out of the right reporting.
Did that pun work well? Read that last sentence again and let it soak in.
Reddit headlines. That is my news. I click on stories of interest because I am choosing what I want to subject my brain to.
This will be a first. I will include the link that caused me to give up sleep tonight. Before I do, I want to explain why it bothers me.
I understand politics and negative ad campaigns to a degree. I wish they didn't have a place in our society but they do catch our attention. I do understand that media outlets, during said election cycle, will try to sway they vote towards their desired results. I do understand some losers and the things that they are capable of saying against those who were victorious. But I have never seen, in my lifetime, a display as this...

This is not the integrity of a news organization that has facts they wish to report. This is an attempted coup. Trying desperately to work up a mob to further their agenda.
Please. Stand with me (not literally) as I back away from the urinal and listen to it flush away this type of journalism, not reporting. There is no place for this ANYWHERE. We should be outraged. I am.
Just read the fricking news.
