@ Mudpuddle: You have to be really careful these days about news or any other kind of information. Trusted sources go some way but you have to use knowledge and reason - even logic! - to parse the real from the fake. Personally I blame Post-Modernism.... for quite a LOT actually!!
Logic is in short supply here these days, unfortunately. Like, I love all these fools who are like, 'Do your own research, I did!" Yeah, okay Karen, you did your own research? How many peer-reviewed studies did you read and write? Who sponsored those studies, what publications do they are appear in? Uuuuugggggghhhhhhhh.
@ Sarah: LOL - *Research* - 10 minutes on Facebook!?! It does make me laugh/sad/annoyed at how many people treat others opinions as *fact* and don't bother tracking down sources yet believe them implicitly as if their very lives depended on it. Oddly I have a book on that very subject coming up 'soon'.
