Where Do You Get Your Knowledge?

Where are we getting our information? Television, Internet, newspaper or radio? Or secret answer No. 5, listening in on some else's conversation. I believe that we are all guilty of that last one. The problem is that the gossip is becoming as credible as all other sources of news.

I wonder how much of the story is being edited out before it reaches our ears and eyes? Is what we're seeing even news anymore? How are a people supposed to believe what they have been lied to so many times before? Now this isn't to cast blame on any current publication or government, the second the first one of you withheld information, or changed a story, you became suspect. You lost your credibility and out respect.

This is purely a lack of trust. I've been lied to ergo I don't trust you or anything you tell me from here on out. And it's not your fault, not directly. Someone did this before you and someone did this before them. And God help us, someone will be there to lie after you are gone.
