Shame really when you stop trusting what you hear or what you read - just exacerbated with the 'fake' news phenomenon.
I don't believe everything I read or hear - from the media or the government. Also, I believe, neither the media nor the government are monoliths. They are a collection of voices that a critical mind should weigh carefully in hopes of understanding what is true.
I am grateful that neither CNN, Fox News or The NY Times are the only media voices. And I am grateful for the multiple voices coming from congress and even the administration as they all help us appreciate how much confidence we can have in any one statement.
As Lonewolf50 suggests, perhaps we can't stand the truth. In today's world, few people have attention span to critically ponder the information we receive. Hence, the election we saw last November. Shame on us.
