Reasons not to trust the "News"

Perhaps it is not enough that each news outlet typically has their own political bias and agenda to push upon naive consumers. Maybe letting political strategists publish articles on news websites is going too far. For example, media outlet The Hill published this wonderfully biased article Opinion: Take a wild guess who can’t promise they won’t overthrow the government Story by Donna Brazile, opinion contributor. A quick Google search, if you are unaware who Donna Brazile is, reveals that she is a Democratic National Convention stragegist and campaign manager. This is a well educated and arguably charismatic woman who lies through her teeth, or keyboard in this case. I have my own politial opinions to share. However, I will not lie to support my perspective; nor will I intentionally omit information that contradicts my perspective. In fact, in the process of writing one of my previous articles, I learned that one of my beliefs about EV's was inaccurate. Real reporters learn things and bring that konwledge to the public. This all goes to suggest that it is imperative to be critical of anything reported by the news media.
