I own an iPhone. I've never subscribed to USA Today and yet, I receive trash "news articles" on the daily, several times a day in fact.
Sometimes they have articles that catch my attention. And I'll give them a gander. Over and over I have discovered how much I have a disdain for USA Today.
One article was about how we shouldn't go after Hunter Biden, using his drug addiction as an excuse for his behaviors by trying to relate to people who are victims of addicts. I myself being one I "vomited". Instead of talking from an unbiased point of view, it seemed the agenda was, "It's excusable behavior because you're an addict and because you're an addict, now you're a protected class in society"
I'm not sure how many people are aware, but China & America about to go to war. Literally, it's at our door step. And all that USA Today has written about is the Missing Titanic Submarine and now the 5 deaths of the scientists.
I've literally not heard anyone talking about it.
Today, another article on it, about how America has been swept into grieving over the loss of these individuals. And how it's ok to grieve a loss of people who you don't know. And it's normal etc... etc...
Sure, it's terrible those people lost their lives. I wasn't following the story because I wasn't honestly interested. There are higher priority issues going on this world right now and none of the American Journalists seem interested in writing anything but "Puff Pieces"
I've been reading news articles for the last 10 years. It's a morning delight to catch up on what's going on in this world and what's being done about it. That was... Until this last year or so where suddenly the News was chiming in it's own opinions, viewpoints, and bias with the articles.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but reporting facts should come without bias and leave the readers to be the one to decide what they feel or think without influence of bias. That's the point of journalism. Is to report to the best of their ability the truth.
The expectation in America is below par now days. Nothing of value or importance is being written about. Obviously obsession over Trump and then the Ukraine/Russian war, which no one really cares about. Sorry Ukraine, it's your country and it's your responsibility to figure it out, we Americans haven't talked about Ukraine since the first month or so of the situation.
But everyday, these articles keep getting published by USA Today and many other "NEWS stations"
My review of USA Today, pure and simple, it's crap, I hope it goes out of business, I hope they fire all their journalists, I hope they get a dose of humility and learn how to report real news again.
