Had better be more Skeptic

I was watching a TV program today. It was about a false charge case.
It was an incident that was reported a several months ago and I remember I saw that news then. When I heard about the terrible news, I didn’t doubt the case because a series of horrible crimes had been reported in those days and I just thought the case is also one of them.
But, today’s program revealed that it was a false charge and the truth was totally different from what was reported first.
Media’s report could be wrong. Yes, I should know of it. I myself once worked with journalists when I was working as a staff on loan in such an institution, and found that journalists’ report could be incorrect because they are pressed between preciseness of the info and the deadline of the report. I’m not working with them now, but even now, when I find an article about financing business in newspaper, I sometimes find those articles are wrong or misleading.
Today I realized that it happens not only in newspapers or TV news, but also in many parts of our daily life.
Today I felt I have to be accustomed to think “what if this isn’t correct” at any time in my life. (Skepticism is not a privilege of auditor!)
