This view is under appreciated. I honestly do not care all that much if a news source has a political point of view, so long as it is _honest_. If they're honest I can deal with it. If I am interested in a labor dispute and I go to "world communist daily revolution worldwide" for their take and "capitalist Ayn Rand weekly" for their take, if both are honest between the two I can probably figure out what's actually happening.
It's possible to look at the same set of facts and to interpret them differently depending on perspective. I accept this, but _please_, can we come to agree to the same set of facts?
The problem is we're well past cherry-picking facts and well into making things up from whole cloth. The amount of 'news' that I read that is just absurdly wrong is disturbing. As soon as I find out a source seems to intentionally lie to me I discard it entirely. I'm more or less out of sources at this point.
