Cultural anthropology teaches us that truth is ultimately decided upon within community.  We must always understand the foundation on which our "truth" is built.  All reported news will come through cultural conditioning and bias.  We are ignorant to think that the news as we have had it has been objectively regulated.  We have the great opportunity now to hear so many more angles on events because of globalized sources, which gives us a fuller picture what is happening in our world and communities.  We are certainly placing a tremendous responsibility on our systems of education to make sure our emerging generations are prepared to sift, sort and synthesize "truth" for themselves.  Personally, I think it's about time.
