Debate:Reasoning - can we establish a recognized norm

This is a Debate page. Feel free to add your own spin on the story. Please keep it civil! This debate was created by TruthSearch777.

Watch the talking heads on popular news shows and you will see a mix of circus, illusion and politics form most of the 'Fake News' that plagues all of us these days. I have personally written to many of them to adopt standards for their guests, which include responsibly distinguishing between complete-or-selective facts, degrees of education/experience, and preconditioned biases included in their opinions. It's a dream...they will actually do it...because if they did, the sensationalism and political agendas would be dwarfed by the truth and benefits viewers/readers would enjoy...but how hard would it be to scroll these 'qualifiers' at the bottom of the screen or in the footnotes of published articles?

That is only a tiny fraction of the motivation behind this debate, because effective (or ineffective) reasoning is one of the pinnacles of the human race, and if we can invent a USB port for computer equipment, why can't we invent/teach/adopt a Universal Reasoning Method to facilitate exploration, resolve conflicts and generally make the world a MUCH better place? ^{— Unsigned, by: TruthSearch777 / talk / contribs}
