“If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you're misinformed”
— Mark Twain
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, if you don’t keep up with the news, you might miss important information. On the other hand, when you get your news from certain sources, the information might not always be accurate or unbiased. It’s like if a friend tells you something that happened, but they don’t have all the facts, or they tell it in a way that changes the story. For example, think about a game of "Telephone" where a message gets passed along a line of people and ends up very different from the original. This quote suggests it's important to find trustworthy news and think critically about what you read or hear. Instead of accepting everything at face value, try to get your information from multiple sources to get a clearer picture of what’s really happening.
