A lot of good advice and many good points raised in this post @revv360. It's a lifetimes work just trying to work out the truth from the lies, especially when the lies are being added to by the day and there is no trusted news source. The best we can do is to, as you say, wash, rinse, repeat and try to avoid feeling like we know something. Not everyone has an open mind though, which is definitely a requirement for seeking truth.
Not sure why you only have four votes from 26 views. :( Your article deserves better but that can be the way with steemit. :(
Have a great day my friend.
