- noduerme 5y agoIt also means having the wherewithal to take the source's prejudices and priors into account, as part and parcel of the meaning and intent you glean from the true portion of their argument. Which is to say, any true thing spoken by an American shill for RT has to also be considered for what specific purpose its inclusion on that channel serves. To accept information without understanding the purpose and bias behind it is even worse than not knowing anything at all.
