The Facts by Merlyn

Americans live in a world where the facts don’t mean anything.

I have finally realized that people don’t want to know the facts about what is really happening in the world and choose to believe the lies they see on FOX and CNN.

When Iran, Germany, China, Russia, Asia times and Australian web sites all have the same story and that story isn’t even mentioned on American TV or web sites, I tend to believe the foreign news.

I’m not going to say anything about what is going on today in the real world because I don’t think anyone really wants to know about things that they can’t do anything about.
I used to spend hours every day looking for the FACTs.

For the last two years I have stopped looking at American TV news. I’m down to about 15 minutes a day reading the headlines on the foreign web sites.
