Well, there can't really be anything such as an unslanted political report unless it's something like a debate. If you really want unbiased news, you have to create it yourself. And even if there was one place that had an ubiased take, would you really want to trust just them?

I'm talking about the news. Give me the facts. Tell me what happened. Don't dress it up with speculation about the politics. Don't resort to scare tactics or sensationalism. Just tell me what happened in the world today, and what went on at certain events.

And why wouldn't that be trustworthy? It's idealist, yes. But it's certainly better than anything we currently have, which is filtered down through either Conservative-owned networks who feel the need to please a Republican base, or vice-versa. That's not what journalism is about. That's what editorials are about. And blogs. And talk radio.

As to Ron Paul... Do you really think you can trust him? How much research have you done on him?

Lots. I don't trust politicians, but I trust the Constitution, and so far he's the only one who seems to remember it exists.
