Beware Of Scare Tactics

With the technology of today, everyone has a voice that can reach millions more than they used too. It is great that we have that opportunity, but it is what you make of that opportunity that matters. Unfortunately, many have taken it upon themselves to create, manipulate and fabricate absolute scare tactics in order to frighten people with falsehoods to hide the truth. These unscrupulous people can make the most bizarre stories look real and official. So how are we supposed to know what is true and what is not? Glad you asked. The first thing to look for is sources. An honest and upfront article will have a link directly to the source they are talking about. If you are reading something that has no link or link to another opinion site, chances are, it's all crap. Second, look for the author and look up said author. If you cannot find anything, chances are it is hogwash. Lastly, stick to unbiased news sources. These will give news stories from all perspectives and let you, the reader, come to your own conclusions. And if you are still having problems deciding if something is true or not, just ask me! Love to all.
