Discussion Forum—A Way with Words, a fun radio show and podcast about language

There are so many versions of the "truth" today. Each media outlet, political party, group or what have you has their own slant, their own version of the truth. Most people don't bother to check up on the facts, they are just too busy. So they accept a lot of the pre-digested "opinion" of whatever group they prefer at the moment. Anyone who takes the time to study the facts and comes to their own conclusion is the smart person (and the rarity) in my book.

Someone said once, Research a question yourself, if I tell you the answer you will have been told, if you look up the answer, you will know it.
