How Can We Tell Where the Truth Ends and Fake News Begins?

In my opinion, this conversation with Shaman Isis is as good as anything you will hear all week on digital or broadcast media.

Billy Dees and Shaman Isis

What we may refer to as an “absolute truth” is very illusive philosophically, scientifically, and in life.

However, have we lost our way in determining what an objective truth is in a practical manner?

Are “truths” that we don’t agree with increasingly becoming “fake news?” How do we know when news is news, or happens to be some version of a given truth that someone else wants us to believe?

Moreover, are we contributing to the problem?

Do we only pay attention to informational sources that reinforce what we already believe or have decided?
