Hubba hubba hubba.....who do ya' trust??

the subject title, of course, spoken by the Joker in the first Batman movie!!

I'm referring to, of course the Jeff Gannon story (I hesitate to refer to it as a scandal, as nothing ever seems to stick to this administration).

Hopefully, the truth will come out over time. In the meantime, we're left wondering, who the hell are we supposed to trust with news and the facts anymore?
The White House can't be trusted. Several news sources have shot themselves in the foot; like the NYTimes, USA Today, who can forget CBS and Dan Rather.

I think these are very serious and very scary times, where we're being marketed news, like corporations market their products.

It's simple, you can't trust anyone. We're to the point that it isn't about revisionist history anymore, we live in the revisionist present. All you can do is weed through all the BS, get to the facts and then put those facts into the right context and decide for yourself what you want to believe.

Damn. That's a very pithy and clever statement. I'll have to borrow that one, if you do not object.

And then there are people who will quote a miswording/mis-statement in an attempt to degrade the person who spoke it.

Honesty and integrity are hard to find these days.
