Having a hard time really knowing who to trust in politics anymore

RE: Having a hard time really knowing who to trust in politics anymore
Quote:Be careful about getting your "facts" from comedians like Bill Maher or shows like The Daily Show. I enjoy watching those too but those aren't necessarily sources that show all points of view on a given topic.

There are no sources that give all points of view.  There's no money in that.

As far as the media goes it is complicated.  To a very large extent they created Drumpfism because they decided the Orange Baboon would be good for ratings.  They fixated on him to the virtual exclusion of the other 16 asswipes running for the GOP nomination and thus bear great responsibility for the fact that a sleazy moron like that is still in the race to be fucking president.  Now, having realized the monstrosity they created they have turned on him but only the print media.  The TV talking heads are still falling all over him with their false equivalency horseshit.  Fortunately, newspaper reporters are actually doing their jobs and showing the world what a scumbag Drumpf really is.

Truth is elusive.   You may have to settle for facts and make up your own mind without the spin-masters "helping" you.
