My perspective is that facts are always fine. There are many many dark facts in the world but they are all neutral.
Things written using negative facts turned into statements which create needless fear in order to control indicate that red flags should go up in your mind. At the minimum, I might read something like that carefully with a lot of filters to keep the bad stuff from being committed to memory in my brain. It gets difficult when facts are spun to create more negativity and consequently, more fear - at that point, you can't be sure of the facts anymore and perhaps it's best just to throw it away..
If I see anything with fear in spiritual works, I just dismiss it immediately. That's a different class of text as far as I'm concerned.
That said, everyone will do it differently. IMO, discernment should never be done by vote or popularity contest. Everyone is completely unique and what makes sense and inspires me may make you cringe, and vice versa. I would perhaps think of what Quo always says as a preamble to every channeling prior to reading something like this. We often read something by an "authority" and want to believe that it's true because they are an authority. That just doesn't work. No one is a true authority over anyone else.
