# This Weeks Discussion Theme: [Consoom NEWS](https://take.supersurvey.com/resultsQWH0OHABI)
 
Did you hear on the NEEEEEEEWS that… Wait, I heard in the NEWS that… Wait, the NEWS said that... No that’s old NEWS I heard that…
 
 
Yes, consumers in this weekly we consoom NEWS. Some fedora wearing neckbeard urnalist will quickly point out when it comes to Journalism there is a difference between “hard news” and “soft media”. Hard news being that ideal reliable sources, journalistic integrity, covering real stories like corrupt politicians and criminals. And “soft media” being your tabloids, buzzfeed, tmz, celebrity gossip, and covering how the NEWEST PRODUCT is the best thing ever. When it comes to “hard news” and “reliable sources” to the minds of the masses, people think of pundits like Brian Stelter, Trevor Noah, and John Oliveyr. This style of coverage is the norm and is the “hard news”. But wise consumers will point out it’s just soft media political partisan gaslighting disguised as Journalism. This isn’t just a party A vs. party B issue. Grifters plague both sides. How did we get here? What is a “reliable source” anyway? You know what I don’t care. Is the weather going to be good this week? I just wanna grill for God's sake. What do you mean my grill is causing climate change!?
 
 
 
 
These kinds of ideas are what this weekly is all about.
 
 
 
 
Discussion ideas:
* How do you find your news? How do you know it’s a “reliable source”, does it matter? What is a reliable source?
* Considering that the internet enables citizen journalists to disseminate news to a wider audience quicker than professional news organizations does that mean the content of citizen journalists is subpar and requires “professional” fact checkers?
* I just wanna grill for God's sake.

So I've seen some sites promote eating roadkill - I have in mind deer you see dead on the side of the road.
 
How about some other uses that might not risk illness from eating them?
 
Could you skin them and use the hide for something?
 
How about the bones?
 
Any other parts of the body that could be reused for something?

This is a response post to a top Reddit story that U.S. Christianity is Shrinking (2022):
 
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/christianity-us-shrinking-pew-research/
 
So which is it? I see factors going back and forth, and I will define "Christianity" broadly as any of these groups that claim to be Christian for the sake of this discussion (although I personally hold it to be a more narrow definition of only being the Church I believe is exclusively the one Christian Church).
 
On the one hand, we have groups like the Amish or Mormons who reproduce more than the general nonreligious population. While I see lots of people defecting from religion, I also see a lot of people doubling down on trying to take religion seriously. Those who have defected from Christianity seem to still seek out some kind of substitute religion, whether it is in science, New Age, Buddhism, or what have you.
 
So what do you think? Is "Christianity" growing or declining?
