Well I trust all news outlets to a certain extent I mean we talk about biased news well I habe news for everybody it's tale as old as time you read old news articles back in the days of our nation's founding they were even worse then today they unapologetically were over glorified slander pieces that's why you have multiple news outlets today with slightly different views on the facts and you watch them all and piece together the information and then you have clearer understanding of the truth. So the media's biased we all have our biases the while point is can we overcome our own insecurities and look at other perspectives then we can all say we are trying to understand the truth.

I agree in general principle, but it is really a shame that we can't just get the facts without having to wade through a ton of outright blatant made up lies that are sometimes propagated to overwhelmingly drown out the potential to learn the truth. Often the truth is simply a point of view, but at other times media outlets make it a daunting task just to be able to come to a truly informed conclusion. Most things they don't bother to lie about, many things they just ignore so that it goes away without being acknowledged, but the outright blatant lies make me mad. It's a fact that cannot be denied since there are completely outright directly contradictory reports out there daily on multiple subjects. It makes me almost not want to read the news as I am tired of trying to figure out what is real anymore!!!

MSG Mark Million - your right especially today where we have 24hour cable news networks they tend over play things to gain viewership.

MSG Mark Million - unfortunately though getting the complete truth takes work it's almost like doing homework you got look at multiple sources and analyze them trying to asses how they keeping their biases in check and cross referencing other sources that maybe more hostile to our point of view because those type of sources keep us honest challenging us on our view points and provided contrary points of view.

Honestly, I trust Facebook for my news. Not because it's a bastion of honesty, but I can see my liberal friends and my conservative friends post the same story with their respective slants and it allows me to sift through and see the actual story itself.
