I hereby resolve

to do the best I can to not react to first fast news reports about most things, but to be patient and wait for accurate information to be released.

Unless of course it is something like a tornado is headed my way.

But I try my hardest to not buy into fast reporting, instead wait for accurate reporting.

Have a good evening or whatever time of day or night it is where you are when you read this.

true. Searching out what is real, what is speculation, what is meant to sell ad time.

"Believe nothing that you hear and only half of what you see." I think he had a pretty good philosophy there.
