Seeing is believing

So how do you get the truth, or something close?One of the best ways is to get the original news unfiltered by middlemen.Instead of articles interpreting a scientific study or a politician's speech,you can often find the actual material and judge for yourself.For current events, follow reporters on social media.During major events, such as the Arab Spring or the Ukrainian protests,newscasters and bloggers have posted updates and recordings from the midst of the chaos.Though many of these later appear in articles or broadcasts,keep in mind that these polished versions often combine the voice of the person who was there with the input of editors who weren't.
