Alright, who can we trust when it comes to the facts? We used to be able to turn to the NEWS as an impartial resource. But that was back when NEWS stood for North East West South—offering all angles, instead of today’s media which has become biased and prejudicial. Back in the 1960’s and 1970’s, nobody knew whether Walter Kronkite, David Brinkley, and Dan Rather were republicans or democrats nor did we know their personal opinions on gun rights, capital punishment, or abortion. They had to remain impartial and report the news! Today, most members of the media and the networks they work for have agendas that cloud their reporting.
Unfortunately, we can’t even trust the fact-checking referees that are supposedly policing the media. But the good news is, there’s still one fact-checker that has a proven track record that you can trust to steer you in the right direction. Your gut! As I share in my International award-winning, #1 bestselling book Food Sanity, How to Eat in a World of Fads and Fiction, with all the ever-changing science (good for us one day and bad for us the next,) sometimes you have to rely on what your gut is telling you when trying to decipher what is and isn’t true. Research shows, the gut and brain are closely connected, and this interaction plays an important part in our intuitive decision making (hence the term “trust your gut.”) Our instincts can often be much more reliable when seeking the truth than relying on the media or their fact-checking puppets.
Do your own due diligence. Follow the money and you'll discover who exactly is paying the piper and you can figure out if what you hear, read or see is BUYased (spelling emphasized.) For example, should you trust a fact-checking organization paid by Big Pharm that goes after competing websites that promote safer and natural alternatives to the medicine they produce? Trust your gut and become your own fact-checker by exploring the other side of the coin (pun intended) and you’ll have a much more objective and reliable grasp on the facts.
