That responsibility---to suspend your belief (i.e. when you hear or see news, you still need to prove it (to yourself, before you believe it & pass it on to others)). Yes, it's good to trust people whose reports are generally true (people like me ); but they (and I) should give you resources to go and double-check our claims (a lot like Adam Conover does with his ADAM RUINS EVERYTHING expos`es. This comes up with an ending speech on REAL TIME with BILL MAHER's "New Rules." (not for youngster's ears) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHCX8i37m6w How do you 'verify the things you see on "the media"?'

It is imperative to be cautious and be sure to verify, verify, verify oh, and did I say verify?

I have always liked Reagan's advice concerning such things, "Trust but verify."
