Again Occams Razor usually does the trick
And some people have a “conspiracy theory”
default view of the world. I do not.
If you think the media is lying about everything then you have to concoct more and more outlandish alternative set of “facts”
aka as conspiracy theories to support your believe that everything is a lie.
I tend to believe until proven otherwise. Again, Occams razor. I also beleive the more extaordinary the claim, the more extraordinary the evidence is needed.
As a computer programmer that is how I work. When I am trying to debug a program, you look for the most obvious reasons before the most arcane and of the wall reason.
The issue is who do you believe.
You get to decide that.
You and I believe different folks.
As they say, If you hear hoofs, your first thought should not be Zebras. Unless you are in African savana (sp?) country.
