Read the Washington Post or New York Times. Believe the opposite.
If it comes from ABCBSPMSNBCPBSCNNREUAP erc., then it’s a damnable lie.
Original sources don’t count for much if you are being fed BS.

I actually wonder how many really seek the truth. It has been my observation for a few years that even many on ‘our side’ seek out media that confirm their preconceived biases.
Of course the left is worse, the truth an anathema to them.
Here is an easy tip. If it is pushing the Climate Change scam they have compromised.
Research, research, research, and bearing in mind what the sources are. Usually the simplest answers are the correct ones.
For me, it’s the words they use when they deliver the message.
There is always a spin to the half truth of the message
Experts say
Some say
Scientists say
My bullshit meter is based on the following:
Our Constitutional Republic was founded on the principle that self-governance is only possible if the State is strictly limited.
That is the sole purpose of the Constitution - to limit the power of the State.
This strategy has been a resounding success, much to the chagrin of would -be tyrants.
Would-be tyrants (Leftists, Marxists, Progressives) absolutely hate the Constitution because by limiting State power, it is an obstacle in their path to tyranny.
To destroy the Constitution, the Left must convince the people that our self-governing republic is a failure. To do that they must lie.
If you understand that one central motive for their lying, it is easy to tell truth from lies.
If they say climate change will destroy the planet unless we sacrifice our energy independence - ask yourself which side would benefit from those radical changes. The Left - so it is a lie.
If they say systemic racism will destroy our society unless we sacrifice our successful meritocracy and accept socialism - ask yourself which side would benefit from those radical changes. The Left - so it is a lie.
If they say hate speech, religious persecution and gun violence will destroy us unless we give up our freedoms ask yourself which side would benefit from those radical changes. The Left - so it is a lie.
It is easy to tell the lies by what purpose the narrative serves. If the narrative argues for dismantling the Constitutional protections against State tyranny, then it is just another lie.
Climate Change is a lie.
Systemic Racism is a lie.
Gun Proliferation is a lie.
Voter Suppression is a lie.
Homophobia and Transphobia are lies.
anything touted as a FACT by CNN, MSNBC, NYT, WaPo, ABC, CBS, NBC, and even FOX should automatically be suspect. Since most “news” comes from one or more of these sources it takes a lot of effort to find out what is FACT and what is fiction.
5 ways to spot fake facts
1. Racism
2. Liberalism
3. Socialism
4. Media
5. Democrats
If it appears on ABCNNBCBS, MSDNC, NPR etc. it is false.
One of my golden rules that I have passed on to folks that I have mentored:
Examine the accuracy of their predictions. If most are not true, they are not to be trusted.
Some examples:
Generations after 2020 will never see snow. ... on and on with these global warming/sea rising predictions that never come to pass.
Trust Sessions, Barr and Mueller, Trump will be inaugurated in March, etc .... many of these.
Those doomsayer’s who make Stock market predictions that are rarely right.... one day out of many, they will be right.
Also beware of those that sensationalize a current event or catastrophe and blame it on some theory that they push. Let them predict it a ahead of time, and I am more likely to be convinced.
And quoting from the bible: Ye shall know them by their fruits.
