I tend to view the world through both sides of the coin. Having opposing views is not necessarily bad - often times they lead to awareness and growth. I think the problem comes in when we filter the truth through the human mind - it's bound to get distorted because we 'all' carry some bias and opinion.

I think people could improve more on their listening of others' views along with a little more diplomacy and problem solving. This has largely become obsolete in our modern society - I often cringe at comments I read. Not pretty. Circular arguments never end nor amount to answers or resolutions ;) IMHO

Personally, I don't trust corporate news any longer. I can't tell you how many headlines and articles I've read that upset me enough to research for myself only to find out that the information was either completely false or sprinkled with half truths. I miss the days of true investigative journalism and the protections of the Smith Mundt Act against propaganda.
