| Your response about "wrestling with a pig" is appropriate, IMHO.
How do we decide what to believe when we are on the internet? That is a good question. My first click is to yahoo news - I have a throw-away email account I use for some purposes there. I get a extensive look at what the establishment wants me to see there in the day's news stories. Then I go to a couple of sites that I have followed for years - one in particular if written by a guy that I have followed for over thirty years. I've visited with him personally. I trust what I read there more than what I see on any other site I visit. I go to The Unz Review - I like the fact that it is not censored. Ron Unz allows pretty much everyone to speak - and often the comments are better than the articles. I go to places like "Systems Peristroika" to look at statistics and comments from Sweden, which can be at least somewhat a control on this big experiment we are seeing.
I see another comment to my post quoted "businessinsider" - seeing that quoted, from my experience, makes me question anything else posted.
But, I understand why it is so difficult to know what to value on the internet. That is one reason I keep coming back to market analysis. With our ag markets, I always ask why are they posting what they are posting? I assume that it is never to simply be helpful to us. The same is true of politics - and certainly Big Pharma. The drive for money and power dominates in those areas. In the markets, I always say to never listen to what they say - watch what they do. Over time, we develop sources that we trust more and more - and, like "businessinsider", sources that we trust less and less.
So, anyway, John, please keep posting your links. As you always say - they are for consideration. I do understand that about half the population wants to simply be told what to think. Some of us rebel at being told what to think, however, and we are sometimes capable of seeing the strings on the marionettes paraded in front of us. | |
