Talk about a utopic idea. This will never happen. People are not interested in the truth, they're only interested in their perception of the truth. Right now, the dominant sentiment in North America is a left wing. That's what people want to hear. It's funny to see the division in the population (in Canada at least). Generally speaking, the Baby Boomers are lefties. The younger generation (35 and less) tend more to the right. Unless the Boomers change their beliefs, the medias will stay to the left because that's what sells.
Also, let's not forget one the most important Western belief: no-effort, full gain. That's another reason why we don't want the media to just give us the facts. We want it all packadge, nicely wrapped, easy to open and gooble. Think of it as TV dinner for the brain

If I am because I think, then, if I talk without thinking, I'm not really talking! Am I?
