Now we got him. Now we don't. Made Cohen lie to Congress. Buzzfeed story inaccurate. Record breaking shutdown
800 ,000 people not getting paid. Wanna see the stock market crash - impeach me.
Russia helped Trump win. Lift sanctions on Deripaska. Dow rises. Women's march. Boycott women's march - anti-semetism. No money for border wall. Dems will add a billion for border security. Trump will say Dems caved and hold them up for more money and future shutdowns. Trump views shutdown good - eliminates waste in government jobs, streamlines departments. And on and on - conflicting news stories 24/7. I can't take it anymore!!!!!! HELP!!!!!

(51,284 posts)Is anyone else really annoyed that Mueller comes out and disputes Buzzfeeds article, but wont touch on any other?
There is something wrong with all of this ... the Fucktard in Office can continue to lie with impunity on Twitter ... the RWNJs occupy all the airspace ... the media obsesses over every spasm of shit spewed by Ghouliani ....

Back away from all media, slowly. You will find sanity returning but it will take time.
Go outside, look at the snow, or smell the roses, or whatever is appropriate for where you live.
The chaos you are feeling is deliberately generated. Confused people are easier to manipulate.
Some sections of the media do it deliberately, other, more sensible media do it by accident.
Whoever planned this shitstorm certainly has succeeded! It's everywhere!
Watched a bit of Fox News for the first time ever. After a few minutes I went YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!
Insanity cranked up to Warp Factor 9. For the sake of my sanity, I stopped. I suggest others do the same.
And not just Fox, either. If you feel you are given opinions without facts, facts that have been checked for truthfulness, switch off.
Go do something else. Anything else. Empty the kitty litter try, wash the dishes, take the dog for a walk. Get the crap out of your system.

You could pick one or two news programs you especially like and watch them, but other than that, turn off your TV.
You'll be much better informed if you read a newspaper or two, try to catch some BBC news once a day, and perhaps Democracy Now, Amy Goodman's show.

(145 posts)Is reporting based on sensationalism. Its an embarr7to the industry I was a part of. Sad. And I admit it. Im out. If they havent seen the truth yet or they arent doing anything about it at this point then why bother. Even if they are caught punishment will be light if any. Like Nixon. Just go home and be quiet. Let the storm blow over and its business as usual. Seriously, Im done.

Mueller actually coming out against this Buzzfeed story shows they were not happy with it. They've been staying quiet
