Seems to me there is only left leaning news and right leaning news. Somewhere in the middle is the truth. It is why I have watched hardly any news on TV, or listened to anything on the radio, and have very limited news on any social media. Too much propaganda and doom and gloom.
Skylar, that deserves a "like" button.

It is hard to sort out the junk and find the truth. I wouldn't feel comfortable with a single source.
I get exposure to quite a few sources of news and information. (long story, but my reality) Anyhow, it basically means that I hear the same story from quite a few angles. It is shocking how differently the exact same story is told out to the world.
Times have made it harder to be passive with the news we see and hear. I grew up with the impression that the news was the news. No need to dig further and it was a passive event. It has not remained that easy. I don't mind doing a little digging and research behind events and the news coverage, but it's work too. That aspect isn't going away anytime soon.
I agree with the doom and gloom aspect. It's too bad, there is a lot of good news to report. It just doesn't get the ratings or hype. Good news is a tough sell to money and loyalty teams.
