"This MAY not be true, but let's USE it as a fact!"

I get the impression you guys are believing more of what you discover in the press than I am.

I once said of tabloids like Weekly World News, "About 30% of this crap is for real and the rest is made up ... but the hell of it is that some of what you THINK is real isn't and some of what you know CAN'T be IS." That proverb of mine now applies to just about ALL news media, and certainly the Internet. Even in an age of vast "communication" I am finding a serious lack of credible INFORMATION.

So the news you are outraged over may very well be actual-factual ... but how do you know, and how can any of us find out?

And that's a scary thought, to me.

[When I was a kid my parents had a record album of the antics of a comedian calling himself "Professor Irwin Corey." His shtick was academic mumbo-jumbo. The title of this post is a quote from the album I enjoyed as a kid.]
