Opus 2018-086: No News Is Sometimes No News

On my computer I group links to web-sites based on their content.  For instance I have one for media sources and under that I have it divided into “check daily” and “opinion”.  I have another for “Fun Sites”.  I am seriously considering moving Fox News from my “daily” to my “fun site” folder.  Not only is the editorial position drifting left but the stories getting reported are becoming more and more like stuff you see at the checkout line.

For instance one link is to an article about Twitter users and a dad campaigning because her daughter got fired for having colored hair.  This is what Fox calls news?  Then there is the one about a woman taking in a 26 year old cat.

Maybe Fox won’t even fit in the “Fun Site” folder.

  1. That's one reason that "liked" Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham on Facebook rather than check the Fox site. I still get the news without the foolishness.

    1. In the hopeless quest to keep the data miners of the social media out of my life I have kept clear of it. I am on the radar enough as it is.

      Grace and peace.
