I concur. Initially I my news source was my family - primarily my parents. Then started using the available media at that time. Now there are so many varying perspectives that ts difficult to discern what the truth is. Many of them are positioned under the guise of being "watchdogs" or "nonpartisan". (See #1 above)
Its tough. I try to get a much info from different sides and then decide. Its not easy & some times those early biases creep back into the subconscious.
My personal experiences have, and continue to shape my views.
