"If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you're misinformed."
-Mark Twain
I like this quote because it shows that almost all of the news that we hear is told with a slant. Almost all newspapers are bias and almost all journalists write from their own point of view. This quote questions whether or not we can ever receive news that is solely the truth. By not reading the newspaper or in today's world watching the news or reading articles on the internet we are uninformed of what is going on. However if we do read the paper, watch the news, or read articles on the internet we are misinformed with false information. The question then becomes how can we ever truly know what is going on?
