How can you trust anything the media says...seems everyone has an agenda. It seems to be a magical act of misdirection, smoke and mirrors.

I have been using the media to practice spotting rhetoric for years. Its a good exercise. But there are exceptions such as The News Hour with Jim Lehrer which is unusually fair.
I do not consider myself conservative, democrat nor any other party instead I believe in what Socrates said many centuries ago
"I am not an Athenian or a Greek, but a citizen of the world." I decide on issues on an individual bases with proper investigation and reasoning. I only wish more would follow as I do and as many great philosophers of the past did.
Some news outlets are blatantly biased intentionally to capture the targeted audience, but if we were to exercise the above there would be no need for the news outlets to be biased!
"I know nothing except the fact of my ignorance. " Socrates

No the one know as RL here at answer was deleted by "Customer Care" for "violations" of TOS. TOS is violated blatantly and people are scared of cousins marrying cousins especially first cousins. Has Yahoo allowed Internet terrorist to tell them what to do? Is Yahoo the Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels of the Internet i.e. Reich Minister of Propaganda? Who did it?

I've been saying the same thing for years......
We as North Americans need to wake up, smell the fresh brewed coffee....
what we see on the news which involves politics is as credible as what we see on the simpsons.....(corrections.. .the simpsons are much more credible....)
It's very nice to see that people are finally questioning the unquestionable which has always been the government....

never take news just from one source, always find multiple sources from both political stand points and you will come to realize the truth usually falls some where in between the opposing rhetoric.
