I'm a questioner, and rarely accept any written word as fact, or even close to being accurate. So, when in doubt, I tend to look at a variety of sources for information, mostly on-line, unless I know somebody in real life that I trust. For example, I might ask my dentist something about my teeth, or the temple priest about some ritual he does. Otherwise it's mainly the internet, and of course personal observation, and experience.

With religion, I acknowledge a personal bias, but that has happened over 40 plus years. In politics, watching or reading ideas, I see a general cherry picking attitude.

What is your 'go to' for information? What do you do to find out stuff? Do you use one source mainly? Thoughts?

I have a few rules
1. I trust God. I trust His prophets.

2. I like the scientific process. I want to see things for myself whenever I can.

3. Research done by people when they don’t have a $ or political gain from the outcomes

4. I like to check information from several sites with different view points. (E.G I check Fox and CNN as they have major blind spots in their coverage).
