After reading some scientific ideas:

The more I study the more I know
The more I know the more ideas I have
The more ideas I have the more they abstract
The more they abstract the less I know the truth

And therefore conclusion from some article

" One of the best kept secrets of science is
that physicists have lost their grip on reality "

The us media is a show, the reporters seem to think there opinion is meaningful, and they are often presented as stars... pff.

They need to report the facts and let the rest of us make up our owne minde.

There's always money. Always corruption. Always confusion.

Exactly, I've always found the American media very glossy and opinionated. I don't care what a reporter's opinion is about a subject matter, just report the news and move on with it.
