personalized media bubble

So I'm staying at a hotel with the family tonight, and it has cable, which we aren't used to. We haven't had cable tv since before they were even born.

Put a movie on last night. Think it was Toy Story (1) on Freeform. Was definitely freeform.

Anyways the kids fell asleep and after it was done, the "news" came on.

At least I thought it was the news.

And holy shit was their nose so far up Trump's ass. I'm listening in the background while reading a book and I'm like "lie....lie...half truth...". Then the sugary sweet pro-Israel rhetoric started.

Literally every third word was something I had already read something with a completely different, and frankly far more realistic, perspective.

I had no idea The 700 Club was still on, but the media bubble is absolutely real. And it's thrown in front of you when you least expect it.

And it's incredibly telling, on any given day, seeing what one side picks up versus the other.

Here's some of today's list...

Like...honestly, most of the story isn't even the content at this point, it's who is reporting in it.
