Perspective and Slant

I heard an interesting comment today...Without getting into quotes and whatnot, the line went something like this...."Well the news is being told from a conservative perspective on that channel."

Perspective? Are you kidding me?

The news is SUPPOSED to be facts. Not perspective, slant, or slight of hand! Sure it is naive to believe that the news is not being told in one slant or another, but for the population to accept that the "News" they receive is not fact, but a spin on events is frightening.

News Flash! Hurricane approaching Texas, millions evacuated! (that is news)

News Flash! Hurricane approaching Texas, millions evacuated by inept appointees of George Bush! Thousands Dead!(Left Wing Slant)

News Flash! Hurricane approaching Texas, millions evacuated! Many believe the storm was sent by god to kill the left leaning homosexuals of the world. Only God, and the Republicans can save you now! (Right Wing slant)

Sad world we live in, when even the world news is sent to us with a political agenda. Freedom of Speech is just as important as the freedom to be fed the truth, so that we can make educated opinions for outselves. God forbid the governments of the world let us be informed. We may ask the hard question, for which they can't, or choose not to answer.
