Not exactly a clone thread, Griff. An anti-clone, if you will.
Where do you go to get reliable information? Especially in this "silly season" as it's sometimes called. I certainly don't know everything (just ask Tink). But I like to make informed choices. I listen to what's being said, I consider the source, I compare it to what I already know. I take care with my thoughts, with my decisions and actions. Some have described me as a mite serious. I'm flattered.
As the election approaches, the volume of information will continue to increase, and will soon become too great to manage. I'll have to triage the incoming flow to avoid being overloaded. Here are some of the resources I use online to understand what's being said better. Just because it's being said louder or longer doesn't make it truer. I want to know, as well as I can, what the truth is.

Where do you turn to fact check something you learned about the campaign trail? How do you decide? I welcome your input.
