This and every Monday, the Bweinh!tributors, having convened in secret for hours of reasoned debate and consideration, will issue a brief and binding ruling on an issue of great societal import.
This week’s question — What is our most trusted source of news?
The Council was unable to reach a majority ruling on this issue.
Steve offers this opinion, joined by David and Job:
In a crisis, I turn to the television news networks; for all their faults, they have the resources to report the truth when it counts.
Kaitlin offers this opinion, joined by Tom:
I try to seek out media which support views opposite to mine. That way, I know that the good news I hear is more likely to be true, since it does nothing to help the biased sources’ cause.
Chloe offers this opinion, joined by Erin:
I prefer to listen to the same news story a few times from various sources in order to find the information being repeated. I trust those bits the most. Also, The Onion.
Connie offers this opinion:
Instant crawlers from Fox or CNN. Before they have a chance to spin it too much. I check the newspapers later for details and updates.
Djere offers this opinion:
Vinnie, the shady guy who hangs out down by the dog track. He always picks the winner.
Tom offers this opinion:
Town Crier. Narrow in scope, but close to the source.
Erin offers this opinion:
What I see with my own eyes. In the words of Frank Herbert: don’t count a man dead until you’ve seen his body. And even then, you can make a mistake.
Josh offers this opinion:
If it’s on the Internet, it has to be true.
MC-B and Mike played no part in the determination of this issue.
