Media Wars

When I was younger I thought everything reported in the news was honest, accurate, and unbiased. I now know that the only way to get the unfiltered truth is to do your own research and decide for yourself what the truth is. The average person doesn't have the time or energy to do this and probably gets their news from just a few sources. The Democrats have a big advantage in the media wars. They control most TV stations,newspapers and magazines. The Republicans best weapon is talk radio which is dominated by Republicans bashing Democrats. Both Republicans and Democrats finance outside groups to do the dirty work of attacking the other side. They barrage us with political ads and I wonder about all of the money being spent that could probably be spent on better things.
