The skepticism has gotten so bad that I’m finding it tough to put my trust in any news outlet. And this is the point I’m trying to make.

They seem fairly legit and unbiased, but then again I can’t be sure. Or at least I think they are, until some scandal comes out that destroys their credibility as well.

Luckily there are a few bastions of uncompromised news out there. What I can say is that, as the comic implies, while we may not know where the “real” news is, we seem pretty sure that what we’ve got isn’t cutting it anymore. How corrupt are US news sites? I honestly can’t tell you. They go to BBC News or Reuters because they feel they have a better chance of finding out what the US has been involved in and to what extent without the story going through a hefty edit process to make sure no influential billionaires get in trouble. It’s gotten so bad that some people I know don’t even read any American news sites anymore. Sad because there are less and less places for us to get the unbiased, unfiltered, and transparent truth if we should want it (which we should). That’s actually great because they’re both fantastic commentators. Does this sound sad to anyone else? Not sad because we look to John Stewart or Stephen Colbert for our facts on what’s going on in the world out there. More and more people are getting their news from The Daily Show and The Colbert Report (comedy programs airing on Comedy Central mind you) than Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, or Bloomberg. Where are the accurate news sources? Every day it seems that another outlet has been compromised by political influence and corporate protection. It came across my newsfeed the other day and it struck me as funny, and sadly, extremely relevant.
