    Ahhh, post modern “there is no truth”.

    Just because CNN has flaws doesn’t mean it’s not a better source of information than “louder with crowder”.

    Organizations that have standards and make reasonable attempts to be accurate should be promoted over “Dave’s rage blog”.

      As much as I despise CNN and NYtimes, I have to agree that they’re miles better than many of their peers, and while flawed they’re usually factually on point. I just wish they weren’t as easily swayed by owners and institutions who have vested interest in which stories are run, and which aren’t.

        People have to realize there is not such thing as perfect. And agreeing with you is not “better”. The echo-chamber is a bad thing, not a good thing.

        Sources of information that have an intention of integrity and who strive to follow it are better sources than rampant unbridled partisanship and yellow-journalism. Even FoxNews (the news side not the trash side) is a better source than some liberal blog that makes no attempt to be objective at all.
