I've come across several news articles that lay more of their personal opinions rather than stating the raw facts. I don't think I've come across one article that doesn't bash on one another and is entirely skewed. Misinformation taints us and I'm finding it harder to find those buried truths. Why can't the media just lay the facts without being biased? Maybe they're "protecting" us and sheltering us from the truth.
I guess we're too dumb a people to understand truths.
We've got to get mad and demand the truth.
As the election is rapidly approaching, I'm growing fonder of reading and watching news clips pertaining to debates and debunking of misstatements. I found FactCheck very helpful, MediaMatters infuriates me when I watch journalists abuse their power and air segments that steer us in the wrong direction and Huffington Post to nit-pick some falsehoods here and there.
I'm convinced that this election has become more of entertainment than it has to do with actual politics now.
Read people, read.
Be in the know & throw out the insignificant bs.
