RE: Problem: Alternative Facts or Poor Epistemology?

in #philosophy8 years ago (edited)

Exactly. We can't trust any one news source. Everyone has to wake up to the fact that listening to one radio station or picking your favorite morning paper/evening news show is like picking which politician you want to listen to for the rest of your life. It just doesn't make any sense.

I personally read up on the news 1-2 times a week once things have calmed down and been ironed out by a few different media companies. Then I always compare at least 3 points of views and try to have a look at the source material itself. Anything less would be willful self deception on my part.

Sort:  

I like framing this as "willful self deception." Well said.
