Do you ever find yourself questioning the media's grasp on reality? Have you ever felt a surge of anger at the sight of unchallenged political fabrications? These 'facts' that are taken for granted can be maddening.

Am I the only one who feels this way? What can be done to change this? Can we ever trust the media and political system again, or are we stuck with this mess?
