Johnsfolly Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 News has always been about getting that scoop to a hot story that would increase sales or viewership. In the past with a few outlets there seemed to be journalistic integrity. With the switch to 24/7 news cycles on a bunch of outlets the rush to post that next story seems to have led to less time to vet out the story prior to getting it on air. The last couple of years all of these outlets have been pushing their own agendas. So folks talk about truth and that if you don't agree with them you are denying their version of the "truth". The sensationalism has gone to a ridiculous level. As @Mitch f mentioned if there is no screaming there are no ratings. Actually sad really. At work with our clients working from home they are hypervigilant about their projects. So without other distractions our email traffic has jumped easily 30% above the norm. Everyone wants it all right now. So we are experiencing more and more stress from our clients and from each other. We have had very few positive cases on our side of the bay. My fear is that when the stay at home orders are lifted we will see a big spike in positive cases in June/July. I hope that I am wrong. Don't know what we would be like if one or more folks got sick. Can't wait for this all to calm down. Can't wait to go fishing again. Mitch f 1

Life’s pretty good here though. I don’t get too riled about what other people think. I know what I believe, and I know others think differently. Not gonna hate because of that. Would rather just get along. I even listen!! Tacos tonight. I made the fatal mistake of buying 93% lean ground beef the other night. My tacos sucked because the meat was too dry.

tjm Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 Truth has no place in politics at all and not very much in fishing stories. Best leave the "truth" to religious discussions, eh? Mitch f 1

That’s all that was available at the Wally World last week. All the 80/20 and 73/27 was bough out. Made for some dry meatballs. Terrierman and Mitch f 1 1
