By the time the last student gets the message it's totally distorted.
Take that and apply it to pretty much everything you hear or read from the media. Chances are pretty good you should take what you hear with a grain of salt.

I love how today's media cites "sources," but when you track down those sources they end up being other media sources and usually opinion-based bloggers. Of course, that can be blamed completely upon social media. Back when I was "in the media" nobody published anything without absolute verification from at least two sources that did not include another media outlet or one source that agrees to be quoted in the report.
Times have changed, both for the best and the worst. News is disseminated far more quickly, which can be good, yet far too often, in a rush to be the first, incorrect information hits the "wire" without any proper vetting.
