Under 100 #3: Diversify Your News Sources

Illustration by Audrie Roeder

Please get your news from a variety of sources. Too many of us count on listening only to a liberal source or only a conservative source for news, and we're probably getting a biased or partial view of the truth. Take any news and its source with a grain of salt-- especially from the government-- and check multiple sources. We're all manipulated more than we realize.

The media could stand to learn that lesson, too. I'm finding more news stories from various news agencies on the same topic that used the same source for their information-- right, wrong, or biased.
