I'm always puzzled by "news media". Does this include newsprint, magazines, internet sites, radio talk shows, and TV broadcasts ? Or do we "cherry pick" sources that we agree with and trash everything else. Are our favorite news outlets included when we talk about "the media"?
NPR and Rush are both "news sources" (according to some) but the news that they report might possibly be from two different planets.
Are some of us granted some "God given" ability to discern who's right and who's full of s^^t ?
