Years ago, my favorite news person suggested we start by looking at the fine print
at the bottom of pages below any article in order to peel it back to the primary source
from whence it came in order to help determine exactly who was fronting the information,
thus the motive behind it by simply asking who would ultimately profit from its dissemination.

..so yeah.. “FILTERS

the difficult part is peeling back the primary source of the information like an onion
being that most sources are layered beneath multiple shell companies/organizations

indeed Social Media
has taken it to a whole new level.

It’s getting increasingly difficult to practice critical thinking
while being bombarded by an avalanche of conflicting information.

Example: this is 2 related messages that i’m finding hard to process:

(A) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxuuIPcQ9_I
(B) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lfj6kHBtC_k

Or use fb as a jumping off point to read various sources. Then evaluate, it’s really quite simple.
