The Israel War thread wandered off track some yesterday (partly due to me) as we talked about news accuracy and where people get news.
Thought this might be a good thread on it's own.
And please don't drag accusational type politics into it. We get it that some source lean left or right.
What I'd be interested in is you folks discussion two things.
1. How much news do you feel it's best to consume and why. Tim Ferris recently had a guest on his super popular podcast that talked about being "News Sober" meaning he didn't consume news.
Tim Ferriss is one of Fast Company’s “Most Innovative Business People” and an early-stage tech investor/advisor in Uber, Facebook, Twitter, Shopify, Duolingo...

That's extreme but I do think there are huge benefits to limiting and curating how much one consumes. Mostly because most of the news is negative.
2. What sources you like best for consuming news. I'd be interested in what folks use now and sharing best practices for what you've found to work well.
I would like to say something about Joe
If you think he agrees with everyone that posts, you've got another thing coming
One of the things i have learned from Joe over many years, is not "The Case for Christ" which was given to me for the 5th time in my life recently
They are trying so hard to save me.
The first person to share it with me was Joe Bryant some 20+ years ago.
I can almost promise you that it hurts him internally every time he rolls up on a couple of us having an unpleasant exchange, that was never the intent of this forum.
And yet he still after shutting down the PSF, realizing we still need a place to vent in the most disturbing times...
We made it almost a year(No PSF) but sometimes events force us to try and engage about what we see unfolding,.
I was concerned and quite worried that the next time we have a horrible event/tragedy in this country that I wouldn't be able to run into the forums and get better information than I would find other places and so I am pretty sure that unless people start going after each other which we really shouldn't do, it would seem there will be opportunities to share information
I don't think most folks understand how difficult it is to try and be understanding of all POV and that is what we ask of Joe, Staff and all FBGs, it's a tall task.
Ask not what FBG can do for you but what you can do for the FBG community in here.
Cheers Everyone!
