I look at a few news sources on YT, and I look at local news web sites. 
I read a smattering of news stories on Yahoo, which are mostly reprints 
from other sources. I watch interviews with "experts" and politicians. I 
check Snopes. I don't know what else to do. Which source do you find to 
be the most reliable?

I guess that's what I'll do. I was just looking at ordering groceries 
online from Walmart. That seems like a good way to shop, but I'm not 
comfortable with the idea of using my credit card online. I'll have a 
conference with a family member first, they have ordered that way.
