When you are constantly exposed to repetitive information, whether true or not, your mind tends to judge that information as true. This is why questioning everything you hear or read is so important, especially when you are provided your information diet by the media.

If you recall a couple years ago it was exposed that all across the country, over several media companies, that the so-called Journalists were all saying very same things and saying those things almost the very same way. The Scripts were the same. There is a reason for that and it's because no matter the subject, repetition imparts the impression of truth, even if it's nowhere close to being true. Modem media, as well as Politicians, are well aware of this old technique, it's called Cognitive Ease. Cognitive ease makes you feel more favorable toward things that are familiar, thus the constant repetition.

Question Everything.

1 Indeed. And when "everybody" is saying the same thing, in the same way, assume they're lying until you can prove otherwise.

2 Today's generations are not capable of questioning anything, much less everything. To do so requires original thinking, and schools have not taught that for several decades.

3 So true Dana; if they are all on board it should be assumed to be a lie. Lies have to be repeated to be believed.

4 Sadly true Bill. Teaching critical thinking used to be what colleges were there to do, and now they teach rote repetition. The high schools gave up on critical thinking long, long ago.
