The Moral to this story is…that there is a difference between intelligent and informed. Intelligence is doing the work and looking at the facts over opinion and forming your own viewpoints based on your own research and knowledge, informed is basing your views upon the views of others…radio, talk shows and other people that you know. You do not have to have a college degree to be intelligent , you simply have to care enough to find the facts. The problem with being informed is , that a person can be misinformed and be wrong. One of my favorite quotes is “you are entitled to your own opinion but you are not entitled to your own set of facts”. This is this missing ingredient in news coverage today. Everyone is so concerned in offering 2 viewpoints or opinions on each issue instead of reporting the facts involved. In the words of the “good book”, the truth shall set you free.
