Five Things To Consider When Viewing 'News'

 1.  Not only should you worry about disinformation, and misinformation....you should worry about zeroinformation (where you have four sources for news, and none of them report x-event....yet you go over to a 5th (rarely used news source) to discover they are reporting x-event.

2.  Sometimes....experts are not experts, but merely 'talking-dogs'.  Meaning....they are more of a propagandist than a expert.

3.  When the news guy spends 12 minutes to explain a 1 minute story....it's probably way over your head anyway.

4.   When a story involves science....it's probably over the understanding-level of 90-percent of listeners.

5. Don't go anticipating that tonight's news will make you happy.  Maybe you should just limit yourself to news that effects 50 km within your home.
