THE key to media literacy is understanding which sources you can trust. People don't have to judge every fact, but they do have to judge where to put their trust.
When people demonstrate they are liars, you have to remember and apply that to future things they say. They have to lose your trust. 2/2

It was:
"Fide sed cui vide"
Roughly:
"Trust, but in whom take care"
Always found it useful. You can't be an expert in everything.

A person, even a mostly reliable one, has flaws. Only trust as much as you have to. All of our lives are at stake.
Do check every fact yourself whenever possible. Trust your gut.
