So you have to verify through more than one source to make sure they are not putting "spin" on the story and fooling you. When you hear the same story from a conservative news source and a liberal news source it will tell a completely different story depending on what facts they include and what facts they leave out. A liberal news writer will tell you that something the president said is a lie. But then when you read a conservative writer, he will say the president was telling the truth. The main way the media fools people is not by lying outright. But by only quoting a part of a statement or only telling a part of the story. They will tell us something, but not give the background or context. That changes the whole meaning of the story. Also, they will "editorialize" within the story. For example, they may quote something the president said accurately, but then say the president is lying. A lot of gullible people will believe that he is lying just because the writer said it when maybe it is the writer who is actually lying and the president telling the truth. Living in the United States is fantastic. But politically, it is like living in a courtroom. You have the prosecution telling you one story and then you have the defense telling you a whole different story. The general public is the jury caught in the middle. It is their job to listen to both sides of the story and then figure out what really happened. You have to watch out for editorializing in a story. The writer could be the one lying. If you want to know what the real facts are, you have to cover all of the bases. You cannot just assume that the media is telling the WHOLE truth. We call that "fake news." The most important thing is to ask yourself, "What are they NOT telling me?" Then go find out. ******************** You have 10 people in a room. Your media source reports that the president just made a public statement. 5 people say he is lying. 5 people say he is telling the truth. How do you know whether the president is lying or telling the truth?

  6.  @krisenger4410  Okay. So you say there are "numerous sources" saying that there have been "multiple audits." And you are right. There are numerous sources saying there have been multiple audits. Guess what ? They are all lying to you (as I said in my previous comment). Well to be specific, they are not all lying. Most of them are quoting from one of the others and the original lie is getting spread around by dupes. So I do not say those people are deliberately lying. But they are unknowingly passing on a lie. You see, there is no such thing as "numerous sources." The person who originally told the lie is the "primary source." And the reporters who were present at the press conference are "secondary sources." But behind that, there are no other sources. All of the media who copy from those sources are not sources. They are just copying the information from the original reporters. That is easy to do with modern technology. But the ones who copy and recast the story are not sources -- because they were not present to hear the original statement. Now the facts are: There has NEVER been an audit of the Arizona election. So let us do a little fact-checking. So this is what you do: Give me the dates of each supposed audit and the results of each supposed audit. When you try to find this information, you will discover that there have not been any previous audits and you will know that you have been duped. This exercise will help you guard yourself from being duped in the future. This is what we call "critical thinking." Let me know when you find those "audits." 😎👍 🇺🇸

  7.  @krisenger4410  You want a valid reason to trust an audit coming from a an auditor who is obviously biased? It is very simple -- we don't. When they have completed the audit, they will have to make a report and present evidence that supports their findings. There is no way for them to fake that evidence. For example: If they say they found 15,000 ballots that were not filled in by hand . . But those ballots were printed on a printing press, they will have to hand us those ballots so we can check their work. So it is not really a matter of us trusting them. At the end of the audit, we either have a stack of fake ballots or we don't. It is as simple as that. We do not just blindly trust anyone -- we double-check those guys. Their job is to find the fake ballots (if there are any). And our job is to review the fake ballots that they find to see if they are really fake ballots or not. We do NOT trust them. That would be the case with any auditors, whether we know they are biased or not. We do not trust any of them. We check their work. ****************** In addition to that, there are checks and balances: 1. If they pull any shenanigans, they could go to jail and they know that. 2. If they get caught cheating in any way, no one will ever hire them again and it will destroy their company. 3. There are 9 security cameras in that room watching everything from every angle 24 hours a day. 4. There are both democrats and republicans working for that company and working in that room. Also, you have to remember that EVERYBODY is biased in some way. That is just a fact of life. So we have checks and balances.
