That's why it is very often important to actually seek out reportage from a wide variety of sources; listen/read NPR? - listen/read Fox. One of the big reasons I try to get as many views on any subject is to try to maintain as much of an independent stance as possible. Once you get as many perspectives as possible, it then becomes a matter of weeding out actual fact from opinion, applying critical thinking on the resulting facts, and then using common sense to form an opinion. Being spoon-fed from just one set of viewpoints really doesn't give you a full appreciation of important, complex issues or matters. Not every source is going to be 100% accurate of even truthful; if you want the truth, you have to really look for it. It is much more preferable to cogitate than regurgitate...
