Pet Peeve

I started watching FOX News about 8 years ago.  Before FOX, I was a faithful follower of CNN and CBS.  What happened was this:  my insurance company offers me a free gym membership at participating gyms.  

One of those gyms was about two miles from the house.  I would go there about 5/10:00 am and work out for about an hour on the treadmill, the stationary bike, the rowing machine, and a few strength building machines.

While walking on the treadmill (and there were 8 or so of them) I would watch whatever was playing on the four monitors mounted on the wall.  Most of the time, FOX News was on one or more of them.

What I discovered and quite by accident was that CNN and CBS did not air the same news that FOX News was broadcasting.  In fact, further investigation showed me that most news that was not favorable to the Democratic party was not being broadcasted.

NEEDLESS TO SAY THAT PISSED ME OFF...

I am neither a Republican nor a Democrat nor an Independent...   but I hate when any organization decides to keep me from knowing all the news.  That is censorship and violates my first amendment rights.  I want to be aware of all the news and then I will decide what I want to believe and what I do not.  And when I say what I want to believe, it is done based upon further research of the FACTS.

While FOX News was airing broadcasts about Hunter Biden, CNN, CBS, NBC, and ABC had made the decision NOT TO AIR THIS NEWS...  instead, they wanted to fill all their air time with news that was against DONALD TRUMP.

I remember talking with my sister about Hunter Biden and she said she had not seen anything about him on the stations she was watching.

BUT THAT IS NOT MY PET PEEVE...

My Pet Peeve is this...

For the last week solid, FOX News has been spending 99% of its air time about what is happening in Israel with Hamas.  And while that is necessary to share, it should not be the only news they talk about.

They did the same thing with hurricane coverage in Florida and the coronation of the new King of England.

Granted I want to hear about that, but I also want to hear about other news as well...  and I know that there is other news about which to talk.

I have not checked out the other stations, but I would assume that they are doing to same thing, so that one station does not out-shine another.

When this happens on FOX News, I just watch for about 30 minutes and turn the damn TV off.
