The problem becomes how deeply one needs to research before credible facts can be distinguished from agit-prop / disinformation.

I can't think of many people I know who have the time to become investigative journalists, in effect. And I know that a lot of things I think I know are probably propaganda or spin or just one sided stories.

Big problem indeed.

very big problem. I think you are wise to recognise this, 'And I know that a lot of things I think I know are probably propaganda or spin or just one sided stories.'

How can we flush this from our minds? How do we trust those that purport to speak the truth?
