When we were kids growing up, no television...only movies at the theatre.
Our parents would remind us that what we see in the movies was not real.
Somebody needs to remind the general population that what they see and hear on the networks for the most part is not real. But it is very difficult to make any headway with an already closed, brain washed like mind.

I am convinced that the only way is reading. Television sometimes is so totally inaccurate, it makes you grind your teeth.
Reading BOTH SIDES is important. Any issue has two sides; all are complex, and despite what some say neither party or ideology has a patent on what is right.
The supposed advantage of a forum like this is to share information, and get another viewpoint.
The trolls will simply one line wit the tired old one liners that they heard on one of the supposed news channels. I have been harping on our coalition that is supposed to be fighting ISIS. I, first of all, have not heard this discussed on TV, but I would bet.....on MSNBC they will mention it to point out the quality of the President....on Fox, they will point out its flaws, and this applies to all the networks...I simply chose those as examples. Today I posted a report from the meeting in France from the AlJazeera network, not because they are so good, but it is even hard to find a report.
