The truth is (and what Mulder couldn't really understand) is that there is no Truth. It's always going to be someone's perspective versus someone else's. Fortunately, the creator of the X Files actually understood this and had an episode about it, even if his characters did not.
This is why every medium of information you come accross is going to be biased. If you agree with the point of view, chances are you might not even see the bias.
Kind of makes you wonder about judges.
I had this idea for a reality show. Take two people who despise each other or are on opposite ends of the political spectrum and have them switch lives for awhile. I think the results would be really entertaining. I think I'd call it The Other Man's Shoes.
Probably have a lot more value overall than that stupid show Motormouths on VH1. What idiot thinks that watching people sing in their cars is incredibly funny?

That's a good idea for a reality show. This partisan bickering that we all love so dearly always seems to overlook the fact that the other guy is human, too.
And while I think there is no capital-T truth, I think that we have a tool for converging ever closer to the truth - science. While no scientist can leave his personal bias behind 100%, science as a whole is set up to filter out that bias. It sometimes doesn't work right away, but it always does in the end.
