    Well, for one, I don't watch biased news outlets like MSNBC or FOX.

    I suppose going to both extremes is the only way to get to the middle. Of what value though is the middle if the TRUTH is at either extreme? T'is a puzzlement. Thank you for your reply JakobA! :)

    Frankly, I do not think the TRUTH automatically comes with capital letters. When a news item is impossible to identify from partisan sourses I often check the "Christian Science Monitor". It usually tries very hard to not be partisan in its news reports.
