I mean, they couldn't have been from any of the leftist MSM. In another thread I talked about not being able to believe anything from the MSM/Fake News and somebody replied that that was terrifying -- that there are actually people out there that don't believe the MSM.
Having a healthy skepticism of any source is different than outright refusing to believe anything from any major media outlet. You do grasp that, right?
Yeah, I grasp that.
Let me try to break this down simply...
People lie. We've all done it.
People also tell the truth.
Each person has a unique balance between the amount of lies they tell compared to the amount of truth they tell.
Some people lie occasionally and feel bad about doing it.
Some people lie continuously and don't care that they lie. They're called pathological liars.
I might have a friend that I trust. One day he lies to me. It makes me wonder. We talk about it and get it cleared up. He's still my friend. I still trust him.
Then later he lies to me again. Hmmm. Again, we talk and get it cleared up.
Then he lies again. And again. And still yet again.
By this point my opinion about his has been evolving. I don't trust him anymore.
We still may be in contact, but I've learned to disregard much of what he says.
There's child's fable that talks about this. It's called, "The Boy Who Cried Wolf."
You might want to read it sometime. But in the interim, here's the money line:
"Nobody believes a liar...even when he is telling the truth!"
So, now back to reality...
The MSM, when it comes to today's political climate, has cried wolf way too many times for me to believe them.
Capiche?
So what sort of sources do you rely on?
My own ability to examine, research and analyze the information.
What sort of sources do you rely on? Spoon fed bias and talking points?
That is what the left does when they are losing... start asking for and attacking sources. Independent, citizen journalists are by far the best sources. Alphabet soup sources are the worst and the fakest. The email activity shows collusion with the DNC and pedoPodesta.
