    You also need a third, unbiased source, then cross-reference the information gathered from all sides and build a reasonable conclusion.

    But if that’s too much work, then join the side that benefits you. After all…

    "The greatest happiness is to vanquish your enemies, to chase them before you, to rob them of their wealth, to see those dear to them bathed in tears, to clasp to your bosom their wives and daughters.

    ~ Genghis Khan"

    ~ random internet person

    Or the abridged version:

    “To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.”

    ~ Conan the Barbarian, as copy-pasted from random website

        That’s a good question. Which is why I wrote the second part for those who can’t find an answer to it.

        There is literally no such thing as an unbiased source of information. Anyone who tells you otherwise just wants you to switch off your critical thinking when it comes to the sources they say are unbiased, whether they know it or not.
