Journalists biases, although a natural human tendency, use to be some what tempered. Cronkite, Wallace, Reasoner, Schieffer, Rather all had political leanings not to difficult to ascertain. The difference between then and now is the lack of critical thinking, individualism, and self reliance taught to our children. Thereby a generation of self centered and entitled people are providing validity to the current entertainment news media and agendas.

Google media bias chart. It shows which news sources are more left, more right and which are more center.

Let's be honest the only person you can believe is your Mother and I'm not sure about her anymore.

It is what the news services leave out of reports, that shows their bias.
That is why it important to read as many sides of a story you can, if you want to make a calculated shot at the truth.

Fact check? Most use Google. Google is who turned me off 441 to 466A going to Lowe's only to put me back on 441 and then said go 38 miles. I think I heard a little laugh on the GPS.

Someone needs to fact check the fact checkers. All I can tell you is that Americans are being manipulated, misguided, lied to and deceived.

Everything that is not a complete mystery is just based on guesswork.

The difference is a full 30 to 60 minute broadcast to cover all the news versus cable news channels 24 hours a day with not enough news, thus guests and opinions. Conspiracy theories, thankfully, never saw the light of day. Fringe groups were exactly that....on the fringe.

News is still the news...opinion is still opinion. We have changed also in that we now have so many vehicles to check until we find "news" we like.

Facts do nothing but cloud the issue. "In God we trust" without any facts to prove her existence. You don't need facts when you have faith that something is right.
