For me, it boils down to (1) Who is sending the message? and (2) do I trust that messenger?

Legacy Media? No.
Establishment Government? No.
New Media ‘Gatekeepers and Cheerleaders’? No.
Known Grifters? No.

So...pretty-much muh common sense.

Common sense is severly under-related. It works much of the time.!!
