See The Light

I want to encourage people to think for themselves. It can be so easy to just go along with whatever we see on the news, or what is said by some politician that we happen to admire, but I think we need to remember that it can be hard to find anyone telling the whole story, or the complete truth in this day an age. So what you have to do is to listen closely to what they are saying, look to other sources for more information, and try to read between the lines. Most of the time you will see that the truth lies just beyond the cloudy messages you are being sent through the media, trying to shine through, and if you look for it hard enough, generally you will find it. One of the biggest problems that I have with the media is that they do not simply report the news, that is, the facts, but instead insist on telling you what to think about it also, and you can count on it being with an ideological slant 99% of the time. Normally this is where I bash the liberal press, but there are plenty of conservative pundits who are more than willing to twist the facts to make themselves look right, it's just that the liberal media has a much bigger audience. But, regardless of what side the person takes that you watching or reading, just remember to look carefully at what they are saying decide for yourself what the truth is.
