The truth usually catches up to lies.

We will never get and probably don't want an unbiased news source (that would be what, everyone's collective first-hand experience), but one can only hope that many voices contribute more to the pursuit of truth one. Certainly modern corporate media present a hegemony of opinion. We have also not yet found angels of truth in corporeal form to adequately staff them. Every news source at least chooses what to cover. They're not Pravda, but they're not gospel, either. Most don't even bother with minor retractions.
