These days, you have to work at overcoming individual biases and your confirmation bias to distinguish between event reporting, mostly factual, and analysis reporting, mostly opinion with a heavy dose of source bias. . .

lawyer training is the best, because you have to present both sides of the same set of facts to a judge/jury which requires understanding the different viewpoints for the same set of facts. . . as there are always different viewpoints from the same set of facts because each individual is unique, therefore, truth or facts are a set of circumstances where a large proportion of the observers can agree. . .

because we are all unique humans with biases and opinions and beliefs unique to the individual . .

now get off the internet and get moving as that will keep you alive longer than sitting. . .
