Has it ever occured to some that just because something is stated from a source other than the one that you are comfortable with or accepting of ......doesn't necessarily make it wrong or right but should give you another avenue to be informed?
It isn't necessarily automatically "propaganda" ....it could be the way it really is or what really happened?
You know... spin on the right ...spin on the left .....and somewhere in the middle lies the truth!
But from which source is the question?
Sometimes the actual "truth" doesn't come the source you usually listen to!

"there are no whole truths; all truths are half-truths. It is trying to treat them as whole truths that plays the devil."

I honestly think that Liberals are more likely to accept the "truth"--even if they don't like it or the source. And that is because they are not afraid to examine different ways of thinking and viewing problems and proposed solutions. As a very liberal Liberal, I also have some very conservative views on some things. (Such as: I am anti-abortion) I don't think that there are any "all or nothing" answers to things. It's like "they" always say: There is his version; there is her version; and, then, there is the "truth". The same goes for politics.
And, in the end, I don't think we will EVER know the whole truth about anything. We can only do what we think is right, and pray for the best outcome.
During and after the Viet Nam war, I was avidly anti-war. When we finally left Viet Nam, it seemed that we war protesters were right all along, and I rejoiced. But there are many people who still argue that we did the "wrong" thing, and in their minds, I suppose we did. I felt vindicated, but others felt cheated. Henry Kissinger has finally said that the "domino theory" was wrong, but many still believe that it was a legitimate reason for our presence in Viet Nam. Is there "truth" here? Who knows??
EDIT: There was no letter "u" in the ancient Roman language.(Latin). "V" was used! (Look at the inscriptions on old buildings......Flushles is right!

Objectivity is subjective. widespread and widespread have diverse thoughts to them (for me a minimum of) and are suitable for various motives. no longer something is objective in the classic experience, and while human beings say each thing is subjective that's actual yet short sighted. in case you have self belief in a common international (as I do) then thus far as objectivity is going i will use it conceptually. asserting something is subjective or objective won't be addressing factor subject. putting each thing in the wonderful little container observed as "subjectivity" is handy and would not extremely describe something, it avoids it altogether. it is my objection to existentialism. that's like the final bandaid end however the wound it covers is bleeding and being contaminated. Existentialism is a denial of what you experience and is conceited to assert the least. confident subjectivity is a superb device, yet does it get you what you like? i prefer to be in spite of widespread is, and that i got here to that end via subjective realizations. i think of the nicely suited answerers in the philosophy section have not got a clue as to what they're talking approximately.

When it comes to Politics and Religion ...
"Truth" is sometimes in the eye of the Narcissistic Beholder, is it not?

In politics, I have the party that represent me best and then there is the other one.
So if I am simple minded I accept what my party says and I reject those other guys.
In America even the most independent senators and reps follow the party when they vote.

Amen sister. I find myself at odds with both sides of the fence often over this very issue.

Because some people rely too heavily on what they want to believe, like conpiracy theorists.
