Answer 5

First, I'd start by trying to see the difference between truth and belief, facts and opinions,  then if you are looking for just one source that will tell you everything exactly as it happened, the truth and nothing but the truth (without even a minor alteration)?

I say NO.

It would be too easy; it would require no effort & no thinking from our part. How different from a trained monkey would we be?

Having a deductive mind (instead of an inductive one) requires research, always looking for the best information and evidence to make our own evaluation without accepting anything on faith (that means more than reading just one website). It’s not effortless and it takes time.

Seems to be easier to just turn the TV, watch the news and go with flow, right?

But it is always our choice, now isn’t it?

~There are several places you can go to find something that backs up your preconceived notions or that will tell you what you hope the "truth" will be.  To find real answers takes work.  You have to read actual original sources, secondary sources from many diverse points of view then you have to (gasp, shudder) THINK and analyze them.  That process is called learning and education.  I call it common sense and survival.  If you are trying to find answers from a single source that you can accept without effort or thought, might I suggest Bill O'Reilly or Sean Hannity.  That seems to be their forte.  They may be ignorant, but at least they are certain of themselves (and the facts have never once gotten in their way.)  That's why they vote conservative Republican.
