I think it boiling your statement down; it all comes back to not swallowing everything you read or see as truth; no matter the source.

Of course you're always going to read and absorb stuff that supports your own biases - no matter how well adjusted you deem yourself to be - or for that matter how unhinged others judge you to be.
