The values my mother taught me were like, if you're going to do something, don't half-ass it. I remember her literally saying that to me. Like the first time I ever heard the term half-ass was coming from my mother's lips. I was probably 8 or 9.

One can adjust for the political slanting of the news, but there is virtually no way to fill in the omissions.
