Monomonday130: communication

Not so long ago world and national affairs were mainly communicated through the medium of television, as well as radio and newspapers. Now we all have info at the swipe of a finger, instant 'news' but also an overload of information put out there by all sorts of individuals and groups. Some genuine, some biased, some truthful, some blatant misinformation how do you begin to filter what you need to know?
Not sure it's an improvement.
