Who do you trust? Who tells you the truth to be an informed citizen?

Question

ex. Your grandma, what she says goes

The Media, they report the truth

The Government, that head if our country never lies

The Pope.

Nobody, I make up my own truth

The Internet, go straight to the source

these are just some examples...but who do you believe when it comes to being an informed citizen??

Answer 1

I go just the opposite as the poster right above me, as his sources are all bull. Fox news is a good unbiased source. Do you listen to talk radio? Excellent. Limbaugh, Boortz, Hannity. Can't go wrong with these three. They might offend nobull and the left out left, but they tell it like it is - truthfully with no spin. Truth hurts, so I expect a few thumbs down on this one!

Answer 2

I avoid the BBC, the Guardian and the Independent.

Answer 3

What I do is check several sources, yahoo news, Reuters, investor business daily, Huffington post, factcheck.org, pbs news, BBC,  msnbc, cnn, cnbc, I trust my own judgment by challenging my beliefs daily. That is a good ego check as well. I use Fox news as a counter check, it seems to spin everything from the far right.

Answer 4

When it comes to taxes -a taxpayer

When it comes to war-a soldier

When it comes to crime- a victim

When it comes to school- a teacher

When it comes to love - you

When it comes to life - God

These are just some examples of where the truth is hidden from us informed citizens.
