Hi Doc,
IMO, things haven't really changed much, even with the advent of the
computer. The key is still to review a very large cross section of media
and other information sources in order to get all sides of an issue or
event so you can make the best possible assessment of what is true and
what is legend. And sometimes even that is not enough.
Bill
