Truth be told, any news paper is put together by multiple journalists and each journalist has their own way of reporting the news. We are fortunate to to live in an age that we can research a topic or story for a few minutes and find out its accuracy. Obviously if you find a story on a no-name blog, you have to do some more digging than a major newspaper. Thanks for reading and commenting. -Amir John, I wish I could be as confident in a newspaper as you are but unfortunately, I’ve seen the NY Times twist stories before.

I trust The New York Times. If I read something on a blog, unless they supported what they said with a link to a place that I know, I would need to get confirmation of the facts.

I'm sorry it happened to you, though. How do I feel about mass media v. social media? Well, I've always been one to try and find out everything I can about something before coming to a conclusion on it so I think they both complement each other well. There can be blatant misinformation in both. I tend to look more into things if it sounds "hinky" to me and then go with the most credible source. Great post!
