Of all forms of caution, caution in love is perhaps the most fatal to true happiness.

thought occurred while overhearing Chris Reck's bit here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-_oMYIb2ds
sensitivity a gift, not a flaw.
when someone complains of something causing harm, wiser to heed their warning than abuse them in hubris and ignorance for being "weak".
Self-control seldom leads astray.

"Downgraded from Green — Trustworthy" to "Red — proceed with caution."
The rationale for downgrading Fox News was, “In previous reviews of foxnews.com, Newsguard found that while the site had published false claims on significant topics that were uncorrected, that because FoxNews.com regularly published other corrections, and because the false claims did not appear to occur frequently, foxnews.com did not fail Newsguard’s standard for having effective corrections practices.”
What changed was that “foxnews.com published uncorrected significantly false claims at a much more frequent rate than in previous reviews.”
Newsguard is a team of journalists and editors who evaluate and provide nutrition ratings for news organizations. They sell this service to consumers, ad companies, and others as a way to combat misinformation.
