Someone suggested in my Facebook feed that in order to get more “balanced” news and see things that I may not agree with, I should start “Liking” and joining Facebook groups that are for the opposite political party. I tried this today, and I didn’t even last a full 24 hours before I had to UN-like and leave all these groups.

This is a sampling of what I saw in my feed:

REPORT: Hillary Clinton Became PHYSICALLY VIOLENT on Election Night and Tore Into Robby Mook and John Podesta

Michelle Obama was born a man (video explaining that her real name was Michael Robinson at birth on YouTube)

AWFUL! Videos Show Hillary Clinton Supporters Attacking Homeless Black Woman Guarding Trump Hollywood Star

I need a break from all media — perhaps for the next four years.

This makes me very sad to think that people actually believe the above headlines — they think the ACTUAL facts are made up by biased liberal news sources. We say the same about them, so why can’t they say the same about us? Back in 2008 when Obama was running for president and won, people burned American flags, saying he was not their president. They believed the lies that awful and factually incorrect media sources kept spouting, like the “facts” that he was born in Kenya, that he was Muslim, and that he had Muslim extremist ties. In today’s situation with Trump’s win, he actually said all the racist things that have been replayed across both left and right-leaning media sources all along. How are the things right out of his mouth not “facts,” yet Barack Obama being a Kenyan born Muslim extremist and Michelle Obama a male ape “facts”?
