If you don't believe in truth all the other ideals of virtue will also fall by the wayside.
Truth exists.  Each source of news publishes the truth more often then not, just not the whole truth.

That goes back to what I was saying in my last post. You have to decide which poison you're willing to ingest and which poison you're willing to reject. Because, whether we like it or not, our "ideals" are not really our own at this point. We're all piggybacking off of what this person said or that person said. 

Amongst the mire of "whataboutism's" and "coulda, woulda, shoulda". It sucks playing revisionist all the time. But, I feel like you have to as most things in this world appear to be extremely cyclical. Especially in our country. We're all accepting someone's version of their "truth" while vehemently denying another's version of their "truth". 

[BLEEP] sucks. LOL. None of us really know the truth. Just a version of it that we're willing to accept. You could look at a quarter and say that's 25 cents to someone but they could look at the same quarter and say that it's really just a nickel and two dimes. It's all about perspective. But a lot of that often times gets lost in translation and somehow we get into a habit of labeling each other and branding each other. 

I know one simple truth. Whatever is behind all of this? They're doing a pretty damn good job.
