[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5449921, member: 24302"] You don't seem to understand the difference between lying and spin. Media outlets will often spin a story according to their point of view. It's very rare that they outright lie about factual events and are quickly called on it if they do. To say that you can't believe anything said shows that you're listening to people who only want you to listen to them and no one else by assuring you only they will be truthful. I know when I watch FOX that they couch things in such a way that's along conservative points of views. Turn to MSNBC and they'll cover the same story with a liberal point of view. One would wonder how such different conclusions can be arrived at. But if you watch closely you'll see that both sides will state what is factually known. X amount of people crossed the Rio Grande. X amount of people were shot in Chicago this weekend. Biden said such and such, showing his speech. But one will say he's brilliant, the other will say what he said proves he's impaired. Do you see the difference? [/QUOTE]
