Observation #24

The difference in news stations and their views can tint what we may formally see as truth. Take for example Fox news and CNN. They are both fairly popular news stations, but the views of these stations are on completely different ends of the spectrum. One, Fox news, is very conservative, and the other, CNN, is especially liberal. I think both forms are needed, so when put together it will give us the big picture, but I also feel that, depending on which station we watch, we find differing opinions instead of the deliverance of truth which is what the journalists are supposed to give us. Although it would be extremely difficult to mesh these two vastly different views into a culmination of medium views on the spectrum, I think it is needed. Not only would this combination deliver truth, but it would keep the guess work out of facts and opinions would have a limit. This is not the only way to fix what I see as a problem, but a solution, no matter what it is, needs to be found; truth needs to be restored.
