It drives me mad that people so quickly accept whatever's reported in the first story they read on something. I think it's bad enough with well-covered news, but in regards to Central Asia, where the particulars of a story are all too often all over the place in different reports, it's silly. Whenever possible, I try to get at least two stories from two different sources on posts I write because the information is so likely to be different.

Preach it. It drives me mad that people so quickly accept whatever’s reported in the first story they read on something. I think it’s bad enough with well-covered news, but in regards to Central Asia, where the particulars of a story are all too often all over the place in different reports, it’s silly. Whenever possible, I try to get at least two stories from two different sources on posts I write because the information is so likely to be different.
