Here is another example of why, in this age of instantaneous news - and the ability of anyone with a computer to make an image (!) - you must look, read, and think critically when digesting news. New York Times link HERE.

You, as a thinking human being must be vigilant, aware, and not simply eat what is fed to you just because someone put it on the plate on the plate.
