The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"Is it legit? Five steps for vetting a news source"

1)Do a quick search: Conducting a simple search for information about a news source is a key first step in evaluating its credibility.

2)Look for standards: Reputable news organizations aspire to ethical guidelines and standards, including fairness, accuracy and independence.

3)Check for transparency: Quality news sources should be transparent, not only about their reporting practices (see above), but also about their ownership and funding.

4)Examine how errors are handled: Credible news sources are accountable for mistakes and correct them. Do you see evidence that this source corrects or clarifies errors?

5)Assess news coverage: An important step in vetting sources is taking time to read and assess several news articles.

Naturally, many individuals are not genuinely interested in the pursuit of truth; rather, they seek information that affirms their pre-existing biases.
