We can't ever be certain that we get the 100% or a 'balanced' reporting about anything we read anywhere, be it current events or a history book.
Even pictures don't always give you the full picture.
Read what peaks your curiosity, investigate further if you desire, discern what rings true to you and let the rest go.

Good post Uptown Girl. I'll add to what you said that anyone can write a letter to the editor if they have an issue with what the paper publishes! Their political opinions of a newspaper are not my opinions, and I chose not to hear theirs on TOTV when I did
not sign up for the political forum. The exact same goes the other way too when it comes to my political opinions. However, I do defend the right of people, even when I disagree, to express their opinions, but only where and when it's appropriate... not anywhere when
they feel like it!
