Recently
scrolling through MSNBC, their bias is so blatant they don’t even try to
camouflage it. Slanted headlines, attacks on Republicans, and Tea Party smears
were the only political stories. Not a single criticism of Obama and/or
Democrats was evident.
So why am I
even looking at MSNBC? A combination of laziness and deficient computer skills
are the main culprits.
As a technological Latter Day Luddite, I resisted entering the digital age until 2003 when I bought a laptop. At the time I was organizing automobile off site sales. The details were complex, there was a need to communicate beyond just cell phones, and keeping track of costs was time consuming. Time was my most precious commodity. As an example, reviewing and approving advertising copy that needed to happen “Right Now”. The software was Windows XP, and I got an MSN email account which I still have.
I mainly use Google now as I have half assed mastered it and find it useful. Of course, this blog is on Google.
Once had
Mozilla – Firefox as the dealership websites were maintained (?) on it. By
personnel defaults, I ended up in charge of advertising and maintaining the
sites. Didn’t find anything I liked, for myself, on Mozilla.
Some of the
other news sources give me problems. Fox, for instance, loads my computer with
so much advertising and tracking cookies I start getting screen freezes. After
using it, I need to run an AVG utility to clean the computer.
Living in
Colorado, our major newspaper is another Team Obama cheerleader. I refuse to
subscribe to it, either digital or dead tree.
Still, the
internet is beyond compare for inquiring minds. Almost worth learning new
^$*(& to use it. Perhaps the biggest revelation is how dismal the Fourth Estate has become.

There IS that point WSF... If it weren't for he net, we'd never know the truth!!!
Exactly so. Probable why despots all over the world are trying to control/censor/suppress the internet. Think the Lightbringer is giving away US controls so that his fellow travelers can do it for him?
