Even the "facts" are politicized. Government statistics are falsified or manipulated at the source. Then the media picks and chooses what to report so as to favor the view they want to push. Honest media outlets hold government accountable. I think the best thing for the average person to do is listen to a variety of sources, and compare the news to their own and their friends' experiences. If you're up for research then you can do that along with seeking out true journalists.
