It's all slanted really...

always always was - has to be that way.

Sure, they have them to the left and them to the right - fluff all

but the fluff on the left or should we say soft left is a bit more literate - well sure
but it can get too fluffed --- everything is Breaking News
"someone on the set farted can you guess who" scrolls at the bottom of the screen.

For hard news you need print - but know most folks read it on their personal cell phones -
and it's the same typical click and bait hard hitting flash that makes you, you just got to click

so as a consumer of media you got to be discerningly clever and critical but still be, you know
a somewhat mellow level headed dude.
