You Feel It Too, Don’t You?
Let’s be honest—something about the news just doesn’t sit right anymore. Whether it’s TV, Twitter, or your local paper, it feels like you’re only getting half the story… if that.
And it’s not just your imagination.
America is facing a truth crisis. Not the kind that’s obvious, like a viral fake story—but the quiet kind that sneaks up on us. Where truth is buried under headlines, filtered by algorithms, or hidden behind closed doors.
Let’s walk through what’s going on. Because once you see the pattern, you can’t unsee it.
The News Isn’t Just Reporting—It’s Shaping What You See
This week, Laura Ingraham (a Fox News host) tore into CBS’s Scott Pelley. She claimed that the mainstream media destroyed public trust and are now pretending to care about fixing it.
“They helped destroy the trust they now want back,” she said.
And to be honest… she has a point.
Many news outlets don’t even try to hide their bias anymore. Everything’s a “crisis” or a “breaking update,” and depending on which side you’re on, you might get an entirely different version of the same event.
It’s exhausting. And it’s dividing us more than informing us.
Social Media Censorship: Who Gets to Decide What’s ‘Truth’?
Remember back in 2020, just before the election? Kayleigh McEnany, the White House Press Secretary at the time, shared a New York Post article about Hunter Biden.
Within hours, her Twitter account was locked.
She wasn’t harassing anyone. She didn’t break any laws. She just shared a link that some people didn’t want spreading.
“It felt like being digitally held at gunpoint,” she later said.
Agree or disagree with her politics, the fact remains: if the wrong post can silence someone in power, imagine how easy it is to silence regular people like us.
It’s not about one side or the other—it’s about fairness. And freedom.
Lawmakers Hiding in Plain Sight
And just when you think it couldn’t get more bizarre—North Carolina lawmakers found a way to legally hide their emails from the public. All of them.
A few journalists requested some basic correspondence between lawmakers and lobbyists around a controversial casino bill. And guess what?
70% of them gave no documents at all.
Then—without much warning—a line was slipped into the state budget bill giving lawmakers permanent permission to keep their emails private.
No more transparency. No more accountability. Just… darkness.
It’s not a movie. This is real. It’s happening now. Truth Crisis.
So… What’s Really Going On?
Put it all together and here’s the picture:
- Major news outlets selectively frame what you see.
- Social media decides what you’re allowed to share.
- Lawmakers change the rules in silence.
This is the truth crisis—and it’s scarier than most of us want to admit.
Because once people stop trusting institutions, they stop trusting each other. And when that happens, democracy doesn’t collapse overnight—it slowly erodes until there’s nothing left.
What Can We Do About the Truth Crisis?
Let’s be real: we’re not powerless. But we do need to be intentional.
Here’s what helps:
✅ Look beyond headlines
Read full articles. Find the source. Don’t just repost—research.
✅ Call out the bias
It’s okay to like a news outlet, but also be willing to admit when they’re being unfair.
✅ Push for transparency
Write to your reps. Ask questions. Demand clarity on the laws they pass.
✅ Use social platforms wisely
Don’t let algorithms do the thinking for you. Follow people across the spectrum.
✅ Talk to real people
Online battles don’t solve much. Real conversations do.
Final Thoughts: We Deserve the Full Story
This isn’t just about media. Or politics. Or one party versus another.
It’s about truth—and the right of every American to know what’s really going on.
We shouldn’t have to guess if a headline is spin. We shouldn’t fear being silenced for asking questions. And we definitely shouldn’t accept lawmakers writing secrecy into law.
We deserve better. And it starts with awareness—then action.
So don’t stay quiet. Talk about it. Ask questions. Share this with someone who needs to hear it.
Because if we lose the truth, we lose everything else too.
