It's confusing because you turn on Fox News and there's a thing that spins and says live and

it looks like news, but a lot of that stuff is just opinion.

And so really focus in on primary news sources, Reuters and Associated Press or examples.

Once you've done that foundational stuff, now you're ready to listen to opinion content and

They're just tuning into the opinion stuff and that's it.

them to torture prisons in El Salvador without
