You get more 'truth' and 'insight' from comics than you do from the MSM. You KNOW they are not playing the "both sides do it" bullshit!
I still remember when there was breaking news when Stephen Colbert was taping the night's monologue. I think it was the announcement that TFG was meeting with Kim Jong-un of North Korea for the first time - so what Colbert did was to scrap what was written and he ad libbed the rest. It may be too late for tonight's horrific breaking news, but we can bet we'll hear from them tomorrow! 
who do you trust?
I watched 'film' of Walter Cronkite announcing the death of JFK (not 'live' - I was still in school when it happened!). Cronkite was 'GOD' to America at the time - he could have owned the world if he (or his 'MSM' bosses) would have wanted to.
But, HE HAD INTEGRITY!!!!!!!
Nobody ever even considered 'doctoring' the FACTS - leaning them in some sort of ideological way that would make the sponsors or corporate owners happy - they were NEWS MEN (and yes, they were 'men').
As you say - we'll see tomorrow what "we" need to be told about what "we" should know is happening - and what "we" will hear depends on what "they" want us to hear.
And what "they" want us to hear is ONLY what MSM opts to tell us - depending on who's sending the 'sweetest' check.
If you 'missed the point' of that - just ask Mitch McConnell why he chooses to lead and vote the way he does - THAT will tell you EVERYTHING!!!!!!
BOTTOM LINE - FOLLOW THE MONEY!!!!!!!!
It started with Lawrence O'Donnell and it appears they've scrapped The 11th Hour - they've gone back to Ali Velshi who has been speaking with reporters who are actually in Ukraine. Michael McFaul is on now. I don't know what tomorrow's reports will be, but they have live footage from Kiev... People are currently evacuating. 
And I also remember the JFK assassination. I was in elementary school as well, but I do remember what I think was uninterrupted news coverage, I learned the word "grimace" when I saw Lee Harvey Oswald shot by Jack Ruby live on TV!

"LIVE COVERAGE!"
We were SO suspended regarding what was happening in years past. I just can't imagine how torturous it was for parents/families during WW2 and Korea when so much time would pass regarding the death of a beloved family member.
Not that ANYTHING or ANYTIME is better now - WAR is HELL and why-the-F**K can't we just stop it!!!!
(and just to clear this up, KID, I was in high school - and it WAS unlimited coverage - in BLACK AND WHITE!)
And it totally baffles me that Russia is now ready and willing to go to war. I actually visited the USSR back in the late '80s with my grandmother and her peace group, they had a "sister town" there. And everywhere we went, there were statues and plaques commemorating those who were lost in WWII. Russia was hit really hard by that war, fought on their own land, thousands starved (Leningrad) and the military losses were horrific. There were museums, even in the smallest schools, to teach the next generations the lessons of that war. They were very afraid of Reagan since his tough policies caused the hard liners to crack down on Gorbachev's more progressive policies which gave the people such hope. And I still remember one woman who had been a nurse in WWII - she said "Please when you go back, tell your president that we want peace." Have they really forgotten?? 
And I also remember the day of the JFK assassination. My reading group was allowed to go to the school library on our own - as long as we walked in line and didn't talk in the halls. But apparently Coach, the school gym teacher, had a free period and turned on his radio - so he was the first to hear that the president had been shot. He raced to the closest classroom, the sixth grade teacher, and he raced to the school library to tell the librarian. And that's when we heard.
So we forgot our instructions, ran back to our classroom at the far end of the school and informed the teacher - who raced out to find out more - and that was it. We all were sent home, I remember we all sat in the gym waiting for the school buses to arrive. And when I got home my mother already knew, had been told by a neighbor. She was upset, everyone was, and there was continuing (black and white) TV news coverage. I not only remember seeing Oswald being shot live, but I also remember seeing that horse with the empty saddle. It was traumatic for everyone, whether they'd voted for him or not, he was our president.
