Question everything, grasshopper!
Watch a TV ad and ask "Is that new car REALLY going to make me hip, attractive, cool . . .??"
NOPE! It's hype!
Same with ANYTHING you hear/read/speak . . . it's all bias and from someone's POV (point of view).
Find your balance by learning how to discern!
Truth is a mix of your own experiences, what you believe in, etc. Everyone has their own agenda. Even you. So try to discern -- and what you'll find is that it's a little from Column A, and a little from Column B.

They are both biased. Fox gets a lot of notice for being the first news outlet that was biased in favor of Republicans, but that only stands out because the other news organizations are so biased the other way. I have yet to find any source for news that is totally objective. You really have to watch a number of channels, listen to a variety of opinions, and read as much as you can before forming your own ideas. We used to do that all the time, before spinning pundits took that over for us. Most people now tend to listen to those they agree with. Very sad.

Fox for me. Got tired of screaming at the TV when CNN twisted a story to their own agenda.

I'd say CNN is more credible than FOX even though i watch both networks.

CNN is more biased.. But most of the news is somewhat exaggerated.. MSNBC today show is the most biased show i have ever seen, Not too menton awkward to watch at times, Does anyone ever notice how Al makes sly remarks to guests and his co-hosts?
