And that gets to the crux of it. Its either "the truth", or "complete fantasy". It is sad that partisan politics prevents us from even agreeing as to what facts are facts, and which are "spin". I am acknowledging that the same bias exists on both sides--it is not strictly a repub failing, or a dem failing. Everyone is too afraid to look at the plain facts--everything must be spun to suit an agenda. Sorry, I blame the media for that, ever since the inception of "Advocacy Journalism" no one can have any confidence that what is presented is ever "The TRUTH, the whole truth and nothing but the truth."
I am as guilty as anyone---I reject anything from salon.com, or huffington post--much like others reject anything from Drudge or other sources.
The insidious part is that everyone uses just enough of "the TRUTH" as they need to, but then the rest is spun to "prove" a POV. There is more truth to the old adage "Believe half of what you see, and none of what you hear" than in almost any "news" source today.
