Re: media, unfortunately, we should probably listen to both Fox and CNN, then plant our flag somewhere in the middle, per our own best judgment.

  I listen to Fox more because I lean more to the right.
I do watch more liberal news outlets but that's only to see how THEY parse someone's words to suit their agenda.

MP has it right in my book. I DETEST any "journalist" telling me that THEY need to interpret what someone said when I just got done hearing it first person.
   I often go to YouTube, listen to the speech/interview. Sometimes they even scroll the words. I'll rewind on occasion to make sure I heard it right.
  Then I watch a news station or read an article on-line from a news outlet and compare them.

  ADD a word here, omit one there and COMPLETELY take something out of context to further someone's agenda and you wouldn't know the original comment at all.

  One great thing about the Internet is that you have information sources at the touch of a key. Sure some are weird conspiracy theorists BUT even they can point you to things that are NOT so crazy and often ARE the truth.

  I'm seeing that right now with ever-increasing Intel that says the Wuhan Virus came from one of the two Chinese labs right near that infamous wet market.

I heard that more than a month ago, from Chinese guy who was on Tucker Carlson's show. He monitors the Chinese internet.

He said that right before the Chinese said they had an outbreak, there was a story in a small neighborhood type newspaper in Wuhan that had caught his eye.

It was about a worker at one of those labs having been bitten by a bat and going to local clinic for medical attention. Next thing the story breaks and he checks back to the paper only to find the paper was no longer in business AND it was erased from public records like it never existed!

  He also said the type of bat that bit her was NOT the kind of bat they sell for food at that wet market but they DO use in those labs.

  Now it appears that someone was infected by accident got treated and wasn't quarantined because being a new virus they didn't know there was such a long incubation period or maybe the bitten worker NEVER told anyone for fear of losing their job?

  So don't believe everything you hear/read, but don't completely discount it either. A little online detective work you can find out a lot of things you'll never hear in the mainstream media for various reasons.
