I am a mid westerner transplanted to new england. I feel life is a gift and the way to honor it is to seek truth and the betterment of life for all. I strive to be humble. I am saddened by greed ,violence and lies of self interest. As humans we can do much better. The News Trust helps me get out of the rut of thinking/opining without the input of others. i love the wide array of sources and opinions. A cool side effect of taking part in this group is an improved ability to read the news and also express myself. I don't watch TV.

Good only as an example of partisan dark horse coverage ....Imagine calling a bill of the US congress "Obama's Law" ..... much double speak through out....tap dancing on straight forward truth......No back round to tell us who payed Cruz to dis...important health coverage....originally a GOP plan.

Everything is so nice elly nicee....Who in the congress is demanding explanation....who is against TPP and why. what have the trade agreements done to migration issues in the states....this reporting is a gloss over...no meat!
Excellent example of yellow journalism....a wiki search tells us departing Ron Kirk defend the secrecy in the trade negotiations....while a panel of 30 legal scholars begged to differ....like the Obama transparency on drones....Kirk is as clear as mud.
