I view the main problem as people not checking the sources for 文章s. Any reputable writer will cite his sources, but there are none to be found there. I see phony 文章s popping up on my FB's news feed everyday that people freak out about, and 9/10 times there is are no reputable source to back up their claims.
Moral of the story: look for sources in an 文章 to see where they are getting their information. If there are none, do a quick google search and see what everyone else is reporting on the topic.
我会说,有时主要的网络无法报告当前事件,因为他们太忙着看Michelle Obama的新衣服或其他东西。因此有时候,您必须真正寻找能够报道主流媒体试图忽略的问题的人。委内瑞拉最近发生的事就是一个例子。准军事人员在街上向平民开枪,但我唯一能找到的新闻是博客和YouTube。
新闻是一个善变的东西。
