When it comes to the media, make sure you get scrutinize, fact-check, and get the full story on EVERYTHING they say about the subject matter before talking and speaking up about it. Don't just rely on one source and keep an objective and open mindset before accepting what they're saying. You know the phrase "take things with a grain of salt" in terms of being skeptical or not to take things too literally? Well, those days are done. You need the whole salt shaker now. :P
The media is going out of their way to trigger you. They cater to the emotionally impulsive and the ones who are quick to jump to conclusions based on limited facts and information resources. That's how they get their ratings and that's how they get their sponsorships. They're out to feed you the story you've been waiting to hear, whether it's something that swings more to the left or to the right depending on the source and their intended target viewer market, but also depending on how much of it is true and how much of it is farfetched to support what their viewers are waiting to see. I've seen videos butchered, facts skewed, and evidence disregarded way too many times on both sides.
So please, take special care with each developing news story that surfaces. Beware of what you see on Facebook and other social media sources. I have friends that are in political total war mode on Facebook right now and it's disheartening.
