I think I use to think that the press was a great thing, I mean here they are to inform us of all of the important things going on in the world. But now I'm not sure. The local newspaper would say outright that it is "liberal" and it is not hard to find equally "conservative" newspapers at all. Everybody knows which news channels will spin the news to their particular points of view. So how is one supposed to get the truth. In some ways, I wish this were the age before Vietnam, where secrets were kept and so was innocence. Is the world any better for being able to know all the dirty scandels that exist with all those people in power in the world? How does that improve our society? But is it any better to turn a blind eye to corruption and crime? So here I stand wishing that there was a news source that was unbiased and wishing even more that the character of those in power made it unnecessary to report scandel anyways. It's true I admit it, I'm an idealist.
