Media Matters

We live in troubling times. We just don't know who to turn to for the unvarnished truth. Or rather we have to do much more work than most of us would like to do or have the time to do.
Perhaps I am being naive here but I would hope that you have a reasonable expectation of reliable information from journalists, educators, and judges. These people are, I thought, in the objective information business. Then we discover that these people are as driven by idealogy as anyone else.

Of course they are not, in total. So, who can we trust? One would hope that maybe the slew of self-professed truth tellers out there balance the field. The FactCheck.org, Polifact, and Media Matters are three organizations dedicated, they say, to the truth. All three have made some goofy statements and seem to support a certain agenda.
