How Do You Know Who or What to Believe?

Have no fear this is really not a political post.
I have been thinking about how people know who to believe without doing the original research themselves ?
I remember a quote I read awhile ago that helps me with this question, maybe it will help you.
A quote attributed to Buddha seems appropriate here. “Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.”
