Or perhaps they come like some of us and take news from many sources, but think for ourselves and use those moments simply as a chance to question.

I don't watch the news for someone to tell me how I should think. I watch so I can hear things that I might otherwise have known about. Then I attempt to research on my own. It can be a muddy thing, but most journalism today is purely op eds. It is opinion rather than Journalism.

I've known some great journalists on the internet. They actually presented facts without trying to lead you to a conclusion or telling you what you should believe. One of my favorites is Ben Swann. He was silenced, censored, and basically scrubbed from the web when he had the gal to do a piece on Pizzagate. He didn't even say it was real. He simply said that no actual investigation had been done and that based upon the FBIs own training materials there was at least enough there to warrant investigating it before dismissing it. He was very unbiased about it. You could tell he knew there might be nothing to it. Yet that was enough to scrub him.

The world is a mess. Not just the U.S. The media is a big part of the problem, and I do think it could be because it is too fixated on ratings rather than doing what they should be doing.
