Speaking only for myself, I stopped unquestioningly believing the evening news back during the hearings for Clarence Thomas' nomination to the Supreme Court. As it happened, I was working on several projects that kept me in my office at my computer, and listened to the entire hearing "live." What I then heard on the evening news was most definitely NOT what I heard. Ever since then (it actually may have been earlier - during the tobacco hearings, maybe, or the Bork hearings), the first question I ask when I hear something in a short soundbite on the evening news is, "is that true?" How much I'm interested in the particular issue in question dictates how far I'll go in doing my own fact-checking.
