What you really need to do around here.

It's incumbent upon you, not anyone else, to prove that you know what a fact is. Not surprisingly, you don't. No wonder you're a Trumpster.

Your suggestion that "facts" be double & triple checked only begs the question of where someone can go to get unbiased information? NPR, PBS & BBC?

Let's start simply, Flasher. Tell the class what you believe a "fact" is.

Note to WF at large: Flasher believes facts are "dumb." Consider this whenever thinking of replying to one of his posts.

I actually watched Fox in the early 00's instead of CNN, and they actually did play to the center, and lived up to "fair and balanced", then once Bush got in, and 9/11 happened, they swung right, and never went back.
Obama getting in only made them frothier.
It was't even a gradual creep, it was a blatant swoosh.

They "Just Did It".

I think Isaac Asimov would crap a solid gold brick if he saw how accurately he observed the trend of equivocal ignorance as unassailable fact.

Nice try, fash.

Let's pretend you're sincere for a moment (near-impossible, I know). What you learn from a biased source, you check at a source that has a recognizably different position.

A much-loved university instructor used to tell us: "Never read your own opinion."

I watch PBS for my news since I turned off the cable. I find the news so much more satisfying now without the talking heads from the major networks coloring it.

I like PBS and normally have NPR (or a local AM news station) on in my car. BBC is a daily go to source for online news for me among other places.
