Thanks for posting.

We are responsible for using critical thinking, most of the time too many don't.

I was watching StarTalk the other night, a science astronomy show. They had Christian Amnpour from CNN talking about her using the science model to ferret out the news.
She said the same thing as Scott Pelley. Disinformation is polluting journalism. I had an Ah Ha moment as she explained how good journalism has a question and uses reliable provable facts to find the truth. Like science. The problem is when you have a political agenda and bypass truth to get to your ideology. THAT is why you can't talk to a tRumper. They have an agenda and ideology that they have to maintain and will disregard facts and the truth to maintain their thinking. Like Pelley said it takes time to see if the info is true but seeking the truth is worth it.. If you get a chance to see the episode of Startalk it's a goodie...

Further they assume that we journalists have the same view of media as they do, and that we circumvent the truth by distorting reality to fit our political bias. That's what's so frustrating about them and even a few DUers: you can't convince them that the vast majority of journalists are simply doing their best to ferret out the truth and that we don't have hour-long cable news commentary shows, nor do we want them.
