I know that some would say that this is wrong, in that I am sourcing all of my news from just one outlet, but, I just don't believe a fucking thing I read in the unfiltered corporate bird cage liner press. I HONESTLY feel that news is disseminated here in a way that lets me weigh the pros and cons of arguments for and against the veracity and/or impartiality of the source/reporter.

By dog, I just don't trust mainstream media, anymore. It's fuckin' sad.
