It's a shame that everyone out there doesn't evaluate information rather than take advice.

The question then becomes.....who's information do you give the most weight?

Or do several sources agree ?

Sometimes you can't confirm or verify or double check with another source.

There have been/are an individual or two whom, from past experience and personal knowledge of them, who's word I trust as true.

I guess, for them, I would be weighing their advice at 100%....so perhaps, with them, I am taking advice rather than evaluating it at that moment.....the evaluation has taken place over a number of years and it all has been verified and tested true.

In the old days, journalists actually checked their sources with at least two corroborating people.  Remember Watergate?  Until "Deep Throat" came into play, the Post wouldn't run the story.  Today, I doubt they do more than google something and make their own decision.  The news is unreliable in all of it's forms.  Guys like Beck will site their sources which is why the left hates him so much.  Facts are stubborn things but finding them can be difficult.

I should read more non-fiction like Tom does but it just puts me to sleep.

"I'd listen to Phil any day."

Is that our own PhilW ? Or Donahue ?
It REALLY makes a difference.   ;D

Is it, "Well you've got to get in touch with your Blah blah blah" ?
Or is it, " Ave another Cooper's and HTFU mate" ?

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. The only thing you can’t do is ignore them
