What is your main method of research that leads you to change beliefs on a topic? e.g google; newsapers [name]; friends; TV [Name prog]; Books; Ancient books; just sit and think what I have heard.
I’ve an employer I consider a mentor and friend as well. Nearly ten years my senior, I’ve told him he feels like the older brother I never had.. When those I trust and admire frame anything in a way I’ve not noticed or considered, I look into it.
Where a trip to the library or book store would once have been needed to confirm or enhance my understanding of a subject, now it begins with an online search. Love YouTube. When someone is honestly disseminating information, and not looking to ..be seen, I appreciate it (and ‘hit like’ )
I use all those methods and also check the source of blogs and sites on the Net that have come up recently with opposite opinions. Maybe the site itself is new or took on new ideas to support Donald Dump. That does not make it accurate. Fact check everything that you can. If you cannot do that and follow a link it might be wrong. Media does not become "fake" just because Donald said so. Currently his supporters are using false pictures and false ideas to claim the Dems are lying about him. There is even some ridiculous idea that Trump and his GOP have a plan that would eliminate being on the street and homeless but the mean old Dems will not let it go through Congress. Just imagine. If that crap was true every Republican would be on talk shows with it and it would be all over Fox News. Being a "non-fact" does not stop Trumpers from believing it and posting about it.
