On the left we all know that CNN, MTV, NY times, Olberman etc. are all biased to the left. You will hear their version of the truth which is also biased to their side. Somewhere in the middle lies the truth. There seems to be no medium where you can hear non biased points of view anymore (if there ever was a time when this did happen). I look at each side as being corrupt and see lots of things as being staged to make the other side look bad (conspiracy thoeries anyone?). So I find it hard to believe anything I see on the news that has anything to do with politics.
Anyone else starting to feel like this??

Felt like this for a long time now. What is worse, I started feeling like this when I was in school while my professors set aside the pursuit of knowledge and took up the banner of propaganda in order to teach their version of the topic. The news isn't the only problem, it is everywhere.
Only way to deal with it is to go to the core of every claim. If it can not be verified or validated at the original source and within context, I start checking my pockets to see what is missing.
