What does the future hold?

The causes of media and campaign misinformation are the fact that it is easier to lie than tell the truth.  The media and the campaign supporters are out to get the juiciest information possible and if the information is positive they want to pick any negative out and blow it up.  When election year rolls around I am sick and tired of hearing about who did what in the past and what they promise for the future.  When really the fact of the matter is they just are telling us what they think we want to hear and we are fooled once again and by the time we are to cast our vote, who really knows who the right candidate is.  The sad thing is that these people are the ones that we trust to run our country.  The only way to really solve the problems with media and campaign misinformation is to increase the amount of people checking for the facts.  And even then can we trust that information is the whole truth, it seems like we could be checking the facts until we turn blue in the face.  The whole situation is frustrating and I worry about what the future holds for my children.
