Well, its not! You know why? I read it online!
If you remember I used to do a blog post called "Scribbles About News" and I stopped. I think it was because one time all the news I was reading/ hearing was bad. And then I never picked it up again because it was hard to talk about while being respectful... and I wasn't doing it for the reasons I wanted to. I wanted to start talking about good things that happened throughout the week, like not too long ago a kid saved his allowance to buy lunch for the Police Officers in his area. That's the stuff I like hearing about and the stuff I wanted to talk about.
So why did I not end up reporting those stories? I forgot them! With all of the crappy stuff that happened, I just couldn't remember the good stuff... and that shouldn't happen. I think even with all the horrible stuff in the world... it is a good place. Sure we live in a world with Ryan Lochte... but you know who else is a person? Lin Manuel Miranda! And that is an awesome thing. For every Ryan Lochte, John Gossling, Kanye, Kardashian, and Shia Lebeouff... there is a Lin Manuel Miranda. There is Emma Watson. There is Tom HANKS! Betty White! There are so many good people in the world. And I'm sure there are way more Betty Whites than there are Ryan Lochte's.
There are more inclusive and diverse Barbie Dolls now. There are ads now that show kids with down syndrome. We currently have a black president and some people got to vote for a woman president.
I guess that doesn't really have to do with what I'm angry about... which is the fake news. I'm really upset that there are so many fake news articles going on around Facebook and everywhere... and we really aren't helping. The picture of Trump saying he'd run as a republican because republicans are dumb... I believed he said that... I didn't reblog it... but I liked a person that did. There's that "Brad Pitt" quote about how he started being a good husband after thinking "we'll just get divorced soon because my wife is sick" or something along those lines. And it was long before they got divorced... but there was nothing that was like "goals" about that letter anyway its actually a pretty bad way to look at relationships. I mean I'm single AF... but still.
Anyway yeah... so yeah. Don't believe Facebook news. I'm trying to not look at it at all... but then I see Carrie Fisher and I'm like "Ohhh no... I hope she didn't die" click. "Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford had an affair?!?!?!?!?!?! I don't know where to actually get credible news. I trust the reporters on the CBS Morning Show... and late night tv.
So yeah!
Byeee!
