When taking to adults/ teachers/ people with more life experience than I do about college life, I keep on getting told how important it is to pay attention to what is on the news. I take this advice very seriously because I've recently developed an interest in politics, and the political atmosphere is almost constantly changing. These changes vary from shifts in the economy to speeches made by major political figures, and many other things. And I've found that the best way to keep up to date on everything that is happening is to try to keep track of the news.
But one thing I've found is that it can be difficult to find a truly object news source. Almost all news sites and sources are biased in one way or another. I find this to be particularly difficult because I believe in the importance of telling the truth. For me, the truth is a holy thing and being honest is like praying. It's because of this that I tend to be picky with my news sources, and to be honest, I have yet to find a single or even a group of news sources that I truly trust. But for now, I've decided that the best thing a news site can do is let their audience know what their biases are.
While this site is not a news site (I am by no means a journalist, be it an accredited journalist or not), I feel that it is only fair that I admit my own biases and define what this site is. This site is a place that I am going to put my opinions. I do not plan on doing many projects/ posts like I did with the topic of solitary confinement. That, however, does not mean I will not do my best to make any facts I provide are true. But anything that cannot be found to be a fact will most likely be an opinion or personal experience of mine. Additionally, in terms of where I am on the political liberal vs conservative spectrum, I have a major tendency to lean towards the liberal side. I identify as a liberal person, though I am not particularly extreme in my views and ideals.
So.... I just thought that this is something you should know about me. If this is something you can't deal with, then that's your choice.
