The Gist
Searching For Truth
It's hard to filter truth from fiction these days.
Fake News. Real News. Trolls and Orcs.
Liberal, Conservative, Libertarian, Socialist, Progressive, Green, Independent...
Whatever you call yourself, it's hard to tell where the truth lies (pun intended).
Hopefully, we can shed some light and help you sort the common muck from the festering shit.
What I Know To Be True
Climate change is real.
Facebook is where you go to reacquaint yourself with people from your past that you've been trying to avoid for the last 20 years. It's fine for staying in touch with friends and family, for sharing a few pics or thoughts, or promoting yourself or your business, but if you get your "news" from Facebook... you're an idiot (this holds true for Twitter and all the other "social" media websites - they are not "news" sites).
Google and Yahoo News (and other aggregate news services) feed you stories based on what you've previously clicked on (looked at).
If you tilt left, you get more left. If you tilt right, you get more right. The more you use them, the more they feed your biases and the farther you tilt.
If you think the NY Times is fake news... you're an idiot (it is literally the pinnacle of journalism in the US and, yes, it still tilts).
Same for CNN, FOX, MSNBC/CNBC, etc.
Don't trust them? Then don't. Go to what used to be
called the "wire" services - Reuters, Associated Press (AP), UPI, etc.
Look, all news services and journalists have some sort of bias. It's part of being human. Some, however, revel in their bias, in their lack of objectivity. They literally scream "We are (I am) right and everyone else is wrong and nothing you show us (me) can prove otherwise regardless of the actual facts."
It's the honest attempt to be objective, to provide verifiable facts, that differentiates real journalists/journalism from the noise of angry trolls and clickbaiters.
Video of the Week
This film (available on YouTube) was made by the US Gov't immediately following the Second World War. It's clearly a propaganda film and omits the obvious hypocrisies regarding our own prejudices before, during and after the war, such as the internment of thousands of Americans of Japanese descent or the segregation of troops and their roles (and ofwomen), etc.
Regardless, the concept is clear and it reeks of relevancy to today.
Watch it to the end. It's worth it.
