I have just changed the subject. It is hard to find sources about anything to count on for unbiased truth, let alone humor. I will look into The Onion, CFrance.

If you have a grandchild in NYC, she might know about it. It used to be given out free every week at the newsstands. I used to buy our son a subscription every year till he moved to Brooklyn and started getting it for free.

The Onion is hilarious !

Funnier yet, to me, are those who in the past quote them as a serious source in discussing politics.

The Roll Call is a great source. You must know the intent of this paper and use it for that purpose.

Unbiased news sites do not exist. We have become very lazy readers and followers of news. If you rely on ONE news site or ONE of any source of news, you are doing your self a terrible injustice.

If you want to be informed, you need both sides of every issue, and today most importantly be able to decide what IS an issue and not just more words to make you believe something.

Staying informed is iimportant, but is not for casual followers.
