Who do you trust?

[porphyrian]

We are in the final stretch of the 2012 Presidential Election race. Unprecedented amounts of money are being dumped into a collective media assault on both our senses and our common sense, as lies are flagrantly paraded as truth by "trusted" media sources. The same people who were saying that polls are meaningless last week are now saying that polls are gospel and vice versa. Depending on who you listen to, we should be either hopeful or hopeless. So, who do you trust when determining where our country now stands?
