I believe a big problem is with how many people cannot distinguish between those who report the news (real journalists) and those who may have a show on a supposed news channel...but is purely a show to push their opinion/bias.

If only more folks would even try and understand the difference, then do their own research with legitimate sources...to try and truly understand the issue(s).

But hey, that takes a modicum of work/effort for so many, so why do it when it's so much easier to just have someone else... tell you what to think?

And gosh forbid, how mortifying would it be to find out...that the facts might not support your view'?

Can't be having any of that.
The key is ...

"If only more folks would even try and understand the difference, then do their own research with legitimate sources...to try and truly understand the issue(s)."

So much in your sentence.....

First, TRYING to understand will lead you to the truth in most cases. Doing research means you actually care about the issue, and FINALLY.......the word ISSUE. We seem to have lost sight of identifying issues, and address only people. Make sure you understand what the issue is a and don't allow your self to be inundated with "side" stories.
