Today's News Source

Being a 19 year old guy, I don't find the news quite as entertaining as my grandparents. But whether I like it or not, news is an extremely important aspect of daily life in society. Even if it is just from word of mouth. Choosing where to get your information on the news is very important. I honestly don't mind where I get the news from, as long as it is not Fox. Fox news has gained a bad reputation for...twisting their stories for their own personal gain. The most important time to be smart about your news is anytime their is an election. This is the only time I will try to watch several different news sources. The reason behind this is that Fox is republican, while NBC and CBS are democratic. If you pay attention during election season you can start to see little lies and half-truths from both sides. The only way to cut through to the truth is to watch both sides of the debates and use your own deductive reasoning to come to a conclusion. In any case, just be smart about your news.
