Church Builds a New Facility in its Existing Neighborhood (Film at Eleven)

One of the Fox News lead stories: "Mosque to be built near Ground Zero" (never mind that it is a religious community has been in that neighborhood for 40 years, so the only possible reason to feature this story is to scare people and paint all Muslims as violent).

One of the CNN lead stories: "Church's Faith Healing Under Scrutiny" (never mind that this is some incredibly weird and isolated religious group and by prominently featuring them you smear other Christians as anti-intellectual nut-jobs).

If news has stopped attempting to inform, and it has become a set of deliberately constructed narratives trying to separate and scare us, what hope do we have of coming to an informed decision and solving anything? Do we not care what works as long as our side wins?

Very cynical on this Election Day eve.
