    It’s good to distrust, but ultimately we need to develop media literacy and dive into the media to find out what’s actually going on. A lot of news is either minimizing or exaggerating real events, so there is usually some truth (though not always, like I think with the NYT bit here).

      I appreciate that, and agree there’s usually some kernel of truth, and we’ve already been so incorrect. The sociopaths have adapted, and we have to adapt too.
