I think the media blows things way out of proportion to just get ratings. I also think the media is no longer unbiased. They are VERY biased and slant the news so badly, I don't even know what is truth and lies any more.

I agree with you 100%.  Sadly, the public is so eager to jump on the bandwagon and condemn and twist and judge, even if they don't have the full story.  I find it utterly ridiculous that anyone would believe that one incident on the LIRR would depict the norm.  Come on.

What is that? I actually don't watch the news. I get it from Alyssa and my Mom.

No, not that I can think of.

I prefer to think for myself and not let the media do it for me. The mainstream media has gone too far too many times in editorializing but disguise it as news reporting. There is a HUGE difference between the two.

I watch very little news on television. I get a few newsfeeds in my Facebook to keep up with important happenings.
