Many would be better off not watching any news or reading any newspapers. Even relying on the Internet makes things tough since there's a firehose of data, and this leads to confirmation bias having a huge affect.
- longone 14y agoYes, I agree with that. Although I have to say that I think reading the news is far better than ever watching it. When you read it you can take your time with it and selectively choose what articles you want to read rather than having a bunch of crap thrown at you at a high pace.
- greedo 14y agoAgreed. Unfortunately, we've proven remarkably vulnerable to video/film as a persuasive medium.
- navait 14y agoFortunately, we have HM to reassure ourselves we are so much smarter than everyone else.
