Agreed. The problem in America is the Fairness Doctrine that went out during
the Reagan years. Trying to find reliable and properly conceived sources of
information is becoming increasingly more difficult. Don't get me wrong, I
love watching CNN and I keep CNN as one of my favorite bookmarks, but they
aren't my only source of news and information. It isn't difficult to find bias
in reports generated on CNN and other news sources.

There's a political historican named Heather Cox Richardson
(
https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com) who provides an insightful and
fact-filled commentary on American politics. I've been reading her for some
time and it provides me a basis for many things I write or comment on. When
you read her, she cites her references throughout. I'll hit those and then
follow links elsewhere to obtain the full story.
