Someone can research the hell out of a subject, but if you do not like that newspaper or that TV channel you are not going to believe anything they say or report.
I am old enough to remember when people would sit around listening to Walter Conkite as though his word was Gospel. What about Edward R. Morrow, Huntley and Brinkley. We never questioned what they told us was the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the the truth. Today, it would be a different story, NOBODY trusts their Government and NOBODY trusts the news unless it is being reported by their party. If this had happened during any of the great wars we would have been in deep trouble.

Have to disagree. Stations have their slants and the stories are shown that way.
CNN posts outrageous stories about politicians they do not like and conservative stations do it their way.
What is sad is that reporters are not acting in the best interests of America at a time of great trouble.
