Thanks MaiseD
Of course you're right, paying attention sources of information is important.
As is reading a wide breadth of opinions on any subject.
As is paying attention to the language used.
It's so easy to call something, or someone, (which you havent) a 'ism or worse a conspiracy theory(ist), just to shame people and shut down any enquiry.
Obviously not you in this case. You were just pointing out the pit falls.
I did read the other day that Reuters fact checkers (those who are employed to check the veracity of information posted about business Reuters represents), were paid by and actively biased in favour of said companies.
So, all information seems to have to be questioned.
No matter how high standing or reputable the source.
I remember believing the emissions tables claiming VW cars were cleaner.
Well, to mis quote Mandy Rice Davies, ( or was it the other one?)
"He (they) would say that wouldn't he (they)?!"
We live in quite uncertain times.
Another mis quote that holds water for me is, (and I am paraphrasing badly), by Bertrand Russell,
"Fanatics are convinced and wise men are undecided"
Or if you prefer,
"Dont be afraid of holding an eccentric idea.
All ideas were once eccentric".
(I've just been watching a Steven Fry debate, who is a B.R fan, can you tell????).
I think the replies on this thread have added to my understanding, even if my questions remain
