Alex Jones isn't known for being rooted in reality.
Now I'm in the know, Katzndogz. Will use website's more accepted from now on.
It's hard tho to get info from both the right and the left sides of the politicial spectrum. I don't really know of any that are without a bias for one side or the other. Is there one?
Dear Starlight: Thanks for your efforts which I wish everyone would do as you! Just hook up with 1-2 friends on each side who have good sensors for BS/red flags. Ask them first if you have questions before you post.
When I need to know what is coming from the real left vs. the politically-orchestrated left, I ask my friends with the Greens/Progressives and Public Radio (who aren't afraid to confront liberal politicians and call them out) and they'll tell you who's fake and exploiting the peace/minority vote.
The same with the real conservatives, find someone you trust to stay moderate and pro-constitution without going off on tangents or political rants, and they'll tell you what's the real scoop, and who is politically hijacked and posturing for points or the media. If you find the people willing to criticize THEIR OWN, those are the people with honest clear judgment.
Same with the Muslims, same with the Christians and the Feminists. The media paints everyone as a caricature in a catfight for ratings, whether prolife or prochoice, tea party or occupy. Talk to people DIRECTLY, and remove the layers of husks piled on because
of "what they think based on what other people/the media" are saying.
If people are too busy quoting other sources and masking their own, find someone else who
takes responsibility for their own views and they'll tell you what's skewed and biased
left or right. People who are forgiving and focused on correcting the problems, are less likely to be emotionally skewed for political convenience to only listen to one side.
If someone only rants one-sided, they are already cutting themselves off from presenting a balanced and inclusive perspective; so you will need to balance that with someone coming from the other side who may be doing the same thing; and put the information together.
Check all sources, don't leave any out, just be AWARE of the biases and take that into account. the right information where all sources agree will be consistent across the board.
Anything that is conflicting is valid from that group's perspective, but missing the big picture.
It would take piecing all the information together, from all angles, to see the whole thing. Nobody has all the answers, so just ask around and take the best ideas from each viewpoint.
