I generally try to reconcile news from Reuters, Bloomberg, Dow Jones, with news from CBS, ABC and NBC to support information.like most of us, yoshi has his point of view and also like most of us his biases come through in his posts. I've been able to have some good back and forth with him. I don't always agree with him and I'm sure he doesn't always agree with me. But that's OK, that's life.
The most difficult line to cross is identifying where the facts that we use come from. A lot of the media that publish data have their own built in biases but they publish as facts only part of the actual fact. So, if you don't understand the process it's easy to get caught up in statements that make sense, but only tell part of the story. Most of us don't have any idea of the federal budgeting process or the federal accounting process. So it's easy to get caught up in the deficit/debt debate where two people can literally look at the same facts, apply their own mental filter (based on what they know) and come to different conclusions, neither of which might be right.
I'm not ready to discount yoshi's posts. We all need to understand the other side's perspectives.
Never twitter or fox news
