What to believe?

We always hear CNN, the liberal news source, and Fox, the conservative news source, but how do we know who we can trust?  After watching CNN with Wolf Blitzer this morning, I will go ahead and give an unlikely koodos to CNN for a seemingly unbiased debate this morning between Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison from Texas, and Senator Barbara Boxer from California.   My point with bringing up this debate this morning is, how do we know who to believe?  Senator Boxer is the chairman of a committee which she claims McCain voted against a bill which would have sent more money to New Orleans and the Mississippi Gulf Coast which would have aided hurricane victims.  Senator Hutchison stands strong in her stance that McCain never voted against any such a bill.  It truly blows my mind that two right minded women (questionable), have two different, not opinions, but rather facts that they are giving to the public.  Who do we know who to believe?  Blitzer ended the debate by saying CNN would get the facts straight and report to the public what McCain did or did not vote against.  In my opinion, in times like these as responsible adults, we should turn from the media and maybe do a little bit of our own research.

You've got it wrong; Fox News tilts to the right, MSNBC to the left, and CNN is fairly centrist.
