Digging for the Truth in Political News

Media consumers have it hard when searching for truth in news. With so many media outlets being biased or just plain wrong, it is our job as consumers of television, radio, websites, and print to decipher between fact and fiction in the news.

Finding Truth in Politics Via Truthdig.com
To help us consumers get to the bottom of things, Truthdig.com has made it their mission to “dig” beneath top stories and search for truth and objectivity when it comes to current events. This web magazine not only sifts through stories to find honest reporting but it also focuses on important political and global issues that the American media may no report.

TruthDig offers stories on more than politics and governmental affairs. This site also keeps viewers both informed and entertained by using other sources of media outlets such as

• Arts and Culture

• Audio and visual files and clips

• Podcasts

• Political cartoons

• Interviews

Why TruthDig Works
I enjoy reading this site because it isn’t a cookie cutter news source. This web magazine offers alternative and progressive views on government affairs as well as uncovering more in depth analysis of current political issues. I also like this site because it offers alternative viewpoints and provides links to sources to back up their reasoning and logic in their articles.

For example, in an article about Rudy Giuliani, Truthdig sites sources in which Giuliani spoke of fighting terrorism since the 1970’s while showing other sources of him saying he did not know as much about terrorism until after the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Centers.

So if you are sick of seeing the same viewpoint on major political issues from every source you read, I suggest you pay a visit to truthdig.com.
