Yes you are correct. I remember a history teacher saying that reading a lot and knowing the bias of the author was important.

I know at one time I read a lot of WSJ, News Week, US News and World report. Used to watch all the Sunday News shows.

The real stuff is in books not generally read by the masses and white papers etc. that no one I know ever has heard of.

I talked to a local reporter, and she thought she was well informed because she read the WSJ, and the NYtimes - both sides of a question so to speak, to get a balanced view. She also thought the A/P was the least biased.

Those are the types that won’t accept being told-you have to ask a question that raises their interest and gets them to thinking and researching.

I did too, and thought that I was very well informed! lol

I call that feeding very tiny red pills... a little at a time, with a lot of time in between doses!
