Perhaps
the
reason
for
what
passes
as
news
of
late,
and
what
is
making
the
public
so
cynical
and
negative,
is
due
in
large
part
to
daily
insults
to
their
collective
intelligence.
As
computer
science
and
information
technology
developed,
digital
media
outlets
proliferated
to
the
point
where
traditional
electronic
media
itself
became redundant and then superfluous.
What
became
news
included
almost
anything
negative
that
would
capture
the
public's
attention
from
mass
killings,
to
war
and
character
assassination.
Really
bad
politics,
sex
and
violence,
or
accusations
of
wrongdoing
of
any
type
took
away
the
human
right
to
privacy
which
was
ignored
in
order
to
get
greater
market
share
as
ratings
and
circulation
meant
added
revenues
.
More
advertising
dollars
and
increased
income
to
those
media
outlets
also came from political candidates who were bought and sold as products.
We
are
not
like
that.
The
Truthful
American
Times
looks
back
on
recent
current
events
and
offers
a
perspective
on
what
might
help
to
alleviate
suffering
and
turmoil
at
all
levels
of
social
interaction,
and
then
moves
ahead
to
remedy
hurtful
or
damaging
situations
and
life's
challenges
by
serving
the
greater
public
good.
Its
publisher
has
enough
material
to
last
for
a
very
long
time,
but
most
importantly,
is
able
to
see
what
others
cannot:
solutions
to
intractable
problems
using
imagination,
human
intelligence,
and
critical
thinking
skills.
The
human
gifts
of
logical
reasoning
and
common
sense
will
assist
in
this
process
as
well
as
our
moral
gifts
of
mercy and compassion.
We
respectfully
request
that
you
take
an
interest
in
the
future
of
news
and
information
media
by
investing
in
the
truth.
Telling
the
truth
about
what's
happening
around
us
without
screaming
attention-getting
headlines
or
pandering
to
special
interest
groups
of
a
bygone
era
is
not
for
us.
What's
underneath
is
what
matters
most,
and
that's
where
honesty
and
integrity
can
be
found
here
without
excessive
verbiage
or
ostentatious
erudition
that
matters
little
to
most
readers
who
have
not
become
so
cynical
that
they
seek
freedom
from
the
press.
Our
philosophy is simple: imagination before imitation and quality before quantity.
