I try to look at a variety of news channels (CNN, FOX News, MSNBC, BBC, etc) before making a decision and my voting record is all over the board.
We do need to start deciding things for ourselves rather than listening to what the media feeds us. And the Internet is a great tool for that.
And, despite whatever the Supreme Court of the US might say about some issue there are always various other checks and balances.
The Supreme Court itself just recently made a ruling in favor of our right of privacy with respect to stuff on our cell phones. Many people I am acquainted with use their cell phones to do research on many topics.
