"That’s a point too, but that rarely extends into this kind of information. But the bottom line is, if they feed me BS about these kinds of topics the consequences are minimal."
You're right in that regard - if its not a controversial subject, one generally gets good information. However, if there's anything touching a political issue from whoever, Climate Change, Deep State. Uniparty, Freedom, Our Constitution, etc., etc., etc.? Fergetabout it.
Its wise to skip taking the controversial info with a "pinch of salt" and just keep a horse's salt lick by your desk for emergencies. ;-)
