Summary-ish: > It’s mostly about persuading audiences to, among other things, “take a deep breath” before leaping to conclusions, as PaidContent’s Staci Kramer tweeted. (I don’t trust journalists to do this anymore, with too few exceptions.) It's not just journalists to blame. It's the receivers too. We can't keep false information from flowing, there's just too many excited people, too many levels of indirection and too much incentive in putting out "cheap" news. The point is, we have to keep in mind what sources are more likely to be reliable and what sources aren't, and we have to filter information as it comes and compare with other sources, not just blindly accept it. I thought they taught this in high school, apparently not. It's a valuable skill.
