In a media world full of fake news peddling knaves like YourNewsWire and "debunker" fools like PolitiFact, how can we tell what's real from what's fake?
Rule number one: Read carefully (don't just skim) with your Common Sense Circuit on and your BS Detector operating.
Rule number two: If it's too good to be true, it probably isn't. Examples: "MI6 Agent's Deathbead Confession to Killing Princess Diana," "CIA Agent's Deathbed Confession to Killing JFK," "Austrian Leader Is a Soros-Hating 9/11 Truther."
Rule number three: Avoid disinfo-peddling sites like YourNewsWire, and be wary of sites that target an audience of unsophisticated rubes, like Fox and Breitbart, and to some extent InfoWars.
Rule number four: Find good sources, such as alternative journalists who are well-versed in their material, don't talk down to their audience, and know how to do research...people like today's guest, Peter Myers. Peter's website,
Mailstar.net, is a terrific resource for reality-based New World Order skeptics.
