Who do you trust? With so many media outlets, is there one that is unbiased?

Of course there's unbiased news. Even most biased news sources still give you the accurate information, they just wrap it up with editorial.

A simple example would be HuffPo saying something to the effect of "Trump tweeted this and it's bad." The news, which is certainly true, is that Trump tweeted that. Rather or not you feel it's bad is up to you.

There hasn't been an unbiased news source since they were allowed to be absorbed by individual entities or conglomerates with THEIR respective agendas.

One must have the individual acumen to disseminate the news as offered and perform their own due diligence. Wouldn't that be expected of reasonable and rational people or must you be spoon fed everything by which you make your life choice decisions.

Instead of listening to talking heads, I do my own research. I watch and listen to speeches or debates, then shut off the TV. I can digest what I hear without all those spin doctors (both sides equally biased).

actually... I use CD. Go to any late news item {new thread} read the opinions by posters....... follow their varied links to the opposing or conflicting sides of the issue,and you will get both sides.. the truth is somewhere in the middle.............although its still like trying to see through muddy water.......
