If some piece of news shocks you and you find yourself thinking, "Can this be real?", you better try to double-check it with more sources. You can't rely on a single source for such serious matters, that'd be just lame.

Example:

- Did Brzezinsky really say the United States is baiting China and Russia?

Oookay then. Go to Google, then type in the search box: brzezinsky+baiting+china+russia.

Done!

Then compare the "sources" (if any) to the narrative you've just crafted. Does it add up? If yes: bingo! You have a discovery! If no: go back to the draw-board. Easy-peasy?

Don't worry. Takes some time but you'll get used to it.
