You said — People trust the internet more because they choose their own sources

Yeah..., and I can put a little bit of a further refinement on that one, too...

I trust my own judgment (and most people do for themselves) and therefore, I choose those sites which match my judgment. And then, I use those sites as reference to what I was to show others for “proof” of what I say.... doncha know...

:-)

In other words, on the Internet — one *can always find* someone who matches your own judgment... and that becomes a “good source” for you to use...

Hmmm....

True enough. Seeking out your own sources is a double-edged sword ... the ignorant become more ignorant, the educated become more educated.

True, but there are plenty of “barf alert” articles on FR. And it is fun to watch the members tear them apart. Some are hard to tear apart and that is where real reasoning and learning happen on this site.

one of the very real dangers of hanging out at FR too much. Positive view confirmation.

BTW President suffer greatly from that. Everyone kisses their a$$ in the WH and when reality sneaks in it is a shock.
