What Is True?

    Now that we know Russia, Trump and others are placing false news in all media, one has to suspect all news. This is a new normal. It brings into question how much influence was false that we all used to make our decisions.
    It's a sure bet conservatives won't believe articles in The Washington Post, New York Times, The Columbia Journalism Review and the like, but, these news gatherers do due diligence and require multiple sources prior to committing to an article.
     I'm beginning to read other news gathers with an eye to, "when, who, what and why" prior to placing much trust in it. FoxNews is not the only name in the diversion game now. With powerful culprits planting stories to sway cultures one must use all available resources and intelligence to make judgements.
     I confess prior to knowing stories were being planted to sway decisions, I fell into the rabbit warren. I'm happy to say, I eventually did realize what was happening and began questioning all news reports. Everyone pay attention. Not all news is accurate. So it goes.
