It's hard to overstate the importance of being able to discern sources and consume the news in a healthy and appropriate manner. The last few years have especially highlighted this, but there has never been a time where this was unimportant. It seems like every week there are articles, stories, tweets, etc. about matters relating to politics, economics, sociology, public health, justice systems, and more. These are all important topics and people of faith ought to be exemplary in our communities as models of healthy interpreters of truth.
