Always look for the hidden agenda. Believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see and still will believe twice too much. Rationalism over emotionalism. Get facts only from respected, objective, primary sources. Extraordinary claims need extraordinary evidence. As Sharyl Attkisson warns, essentially everything in the mainstream media is paid for by someone who wants to influence your opinion. Remember the statement of Nazi Minister of Propaganda, J. Goebbels "If you tell a lie often enough, then people will believe it. Eventually even you will come to believe it.". A lot of people out there are pushing propaganda in just that way. Measure twice and saw once. In many circumstances, people are permitted to lie and commonly take advantage of that fact. At dawn, a lie can circumnavigate the globe while the truth is still getting its shoes on.
