BOTTOM LINE:

Time to be honing our DISCERNMENT SKILLS. We were't taught any of that in school so we're going to have to learn on the fly.

My 2 cents is

1) learn how to get quiet, how to slow the mind down

2) then go into your heart and do some heart centered breathing. To do this, think of a time in your life when you were the most happy. Then breathe this feeling in and out of your heart.

Then take a look at whatever news you're trying to figure out is real or fake and just sit with it a few minutes in that quiet space and see what comes.

This isn't the be all end all answer but it's a start.

Good luck.
