It is super-frustrating to me that I am compelled to explain to people that the news they are reading is utterly misleading.
First, it shouldn’t be necessary. If the Pravda Media were honest, millions of people wouldn’t get worked up over BS claims that are made simply to make them angry.
Secondly, since I am forced to contradict what people are reading in the so-called “mainstream media,” I am faced with an unreasonable burden.
“NPR says so.” Whenever I have to explain that NPR is full of crap, I haven’t dented NPR’s credibility in their eyes, but my own. If people are inclined to instantly trust an Establishment source, it is almost impossible to break through that nearly impenetrable barrier.
That seems bizarre, but it is true. No matter how many times you remind people that they have been fed lie after lie after lie by the same sources, it doesn’t…
