Episode notes
- A full quote is a real statement made by someone, but even a full quote can be taken out of context.
- News often focuses on things that are not true because true things are not surprising or newsworthy.
- Stories that are wildly implausible are more likely to be untrue.
- Just because something is true and important does not automatically make it newsworthy.
- Pollution in America seems to be getting better overall, despite pockets of pollution being reported.
