Where are the facts???

Question

I am frustrated.
I feel like there is no way to find valid, unbiased information anymore.
Seriously, no matter what it is you're trying to research. No matter what you're trying to learn, SOMEHOW the information is wrong or has some kind of opinion tied to it.
I just want facts!
I was just talking to my mom the other day about the whole planned parenthood fiasco. She's convinced that PP was selling baby parts and that nearly 100% of their services are abortions. She thinks this because, of course, the things she's read online have told her so. She's read many biased articles about planned parenthood and has watched way too many ridiculous videos. I was frustrated because she believed this, but then I got frustrated because I wondered if all of my information was somehow biased too.
And now, I'm sitting here trying to figure out where to get the best information about caffeine and it's good or bad effects on the body, and I don't know where to look. I don't know what's true!
Ugh.
I'm sorry, I've kind of ranted all over the place on this one. But can you friends please tell me what you do? How do you find correct information on ANY subject these days? How can I be sure the stuff I'm learning is truth, how do I know I'm getting real facts?

Thanks for reading 😕

Answer

Look at original sources, actual research data, and medical journals and textbooks. Online blogs are no-nos! Haha

Answer

Ask your doctor. Mine told me to stop googling shit.

Answer

Unbiased news is a rarity these days. I think CNN, NPR, & BBC are pretty reliable. When it comes to medical info, it's best to check medical journals, or other strictly medical sources. The library is often a much better place to do research than the internet.

Answer

Check sources, they should be listed out at the bottom of everything you read. Then check those sources if you so desire... until you get to the actual scientific studies done explaining their research and conclusions. It's a lot of research, lol.

Answer

If you want true research, don't look on the internet. Go to the library, pick up books, look in the references, read more, etc. Think way back in college days (for those of us) who weren't allowed to use any sources from a webpage.

Answer

You can never be sure, you have to always keep in mind that most of the information sources will be biased to at least some extent. If it smells fishy, then it probably is.
Even when they don't outright lie, often times "authors" would ignore and not mention the facts which are inconvenient for the story.
I would consider actual scientific studies (not their interpretations) to be the "cleanest", and even they are not immune to bias :-(

Answer

From what I know (nationally) 3% of services are abortions, but 51% of their funding is from abortions. I also read that there are some clinics that are solely abortion clinics while others are both and some don't have abortions at all.
