Cynicism

It occurs to me as I've been thinking about things recently. I want to have opinions. I want those opinions to be based on the facts. Yet I feel that I can never be sure of the facts.
So, I ask questions, but rarely find definitive answers.
Is it just because 'they', i.e. those with economic and political power, like to blind us with excessive information? Like 24-hour news, too many facts flying around, over-analysed, from all sides.
So I switch off, and feel inclined to think that 'they' know best.
It suits 'them', as they build their own empires, and leave the rest of us wondering. Or cynical.
