Being At An Intersection

 There's a piece I read over this morning....discussing this serious 'junction' which the news media has come to, and unable to grasp the direction ahead.

Are we in an era of 'hope' or an era of 'turmoil'?

Under the Trump-agenda news....it could only be an era of 'turmoil'.

But to enter the era of 'hope'...you need evidence or persuasion-factor....to carry the load.  Apparently, the news folks are having a problem....they don't see enough change to jump on the 'hope' era, so logically....this should mean they still market their brand of turmoil.  But if you sell turmoil....it hurts the Biden-message.

So they are standing there....in the middle of a road, and unable to really move ahead.

For four years, CNN sold a remarkable amount of 'doom'.  In the past month or two?  You get the impression that they'd like to move on, but they look over and realize that around one-third of their viewers have quit.  So it begs the question...were they (the one-third crowd) there to watch 'doom' episodes mostly?  

I sat and pondering over this.  I just wasn't (for the past four years) that much of a CNN viewer.  You couldn't convince me to sit for forty-five minutes to get anti-Trump news....day after day.  I might have watched ten minutes a day of CNN...mostly hoping that they'd accidentally do a ten-minute segment on world events.

Flipping things around to be purely an era of hope?  To be honest, I don't want fake hope analysis, or fake-hope achievements, or fake-hope chat forums.  

I also don't need four guests with a moderator to spend an hour talking about fake-hope coming in micro 'bursts'.

Instead of arriving at the 'Y' in the road, with hope on one side and turmoil on the other side....I think it's more a double-Y, with fake news and biased news as also part of this trip.  

Maybe it's best to just halt at the intersection, and sip a bit of brandy at this point....waiting for things to resolve themselves.
