It’s hard to get facts these days without at very least a hard slant one way or another, or at worst, flat out lies.

I would say I have a spectrum of trust for different news sources. I'm more likely to trust network news than cable news (or at least believe that what they're talking about is worth worrying about - which I'll equate with "trust" for this post). I trust NPR more than either even though I acknowledge its slight lean to the left on the American chart (although still much better than MSNBC or CNN). In print news, I trust the Wall Street Journal more than just about anything else, as it leans a bit to the right but doesn't get caught up in partisanship or some of the more anti-reason elements of modern American conservatism like some other sources. And for a straightforward perspective on American events, I probably like the BBC more than anything else I've listed.

Good ole NPR...

Check the time line in this link below with the article above. Begs the question why would NPR publish something so irresponsible at this critical time? No really. No need to beg.
