How to be Sure

Chapter 8 of unSpun, “How to Be Sure”, deals with the fact that facts can easily not be factual (repetitive?). I agree with this—how do we know that a fact is true, or that a primary source is more credible than a secondary one? The media thrives off of this and lures us in with propaganda because we might not “know any better”. The public falls into the ignorant category because they sometimes refuse to dig through the propaganda and find the true facts. It is much easier to believe exactly what we hear, and not question the media’s display of the “facts”. We can only know for sure by researching for ourselves.
