I recently came across this quotation that I rather loved, supposedly from Mark Twain.
If you don’t read the newspaper, you’re uninformed.
If you read the newspaper, you are misinformed.
I was a little suspicious of it as there are so many false quotes on the web, so I ran it past Quote Investigator.
Sure enough, Mark Twain never said this. I was misinformed. But as ever Quote Investigator has done a wonderful job in trying to track down the source.
Tweet: Would you rather be uninformed or misinformed?
