Know thy enemy.
I actually think everyone who posts from MSM sources should get a kudo for saving us the trouble. I can catch the drift from the excerpt and comments and therefore, the outlet gets at least one less click. If I need more, I can wait a few days and read it on a blog or watch a 3”-5” video clip.
The con is all on the left. Trump is doing exactly what he promised and began doing so before being inaugurated. He gets more done before lunch, so far, than zer0 accomplished in a month. The difference is, what Trump is doing is helping the country and us, while his predecessor inflicted pain and suffering, along with a condescending lecture.
Oh, and before I forget: there is a Trump TV channel on YouTube.
“Know thy enemy” but don’t obsess over thy enemy and don’t focus on thy enemy. Thy enemy can get you basically in two ways - 1) by getting you to be ignorant of his devices and/or 2) by getting you to be overly attentive to what he is doing.
We should be mostly publishing the truth on FR, not the lies. We should find reliable sources that have already deconstructed the lie and replaced it with the truth and with a headline that says the truth. We need much more of that on FR IMO. The key is the headline and the first few sentences because not everyone has time to drill down. The endless stream of negative, lying headlines sabotages our purpose IMO.
As I said, some posts of certain certain published lies can help in ferreting out the truth and can be very helpful. But the almost mindless stream of endless Leftist media’s published lies posted on FR often has no redeeming value, gets everyone all pissed off and demoralized, and seems sometimes to even strengthen the lie.
If you’re told a lie, don’t repeat it. Neutralize the lie by speaking the truth. Lies aren’t defeated by repeating the lie. Lies are defeated by repeating the truth. We should have our eyes on the prize - in this case, politically, what it takes to recover our Free Constitutional Republic. That should be what we major on and focus on.
To be honest, part of the problem IMO is many know what they’re against but have difficulty clarifying for themselves what they are for. That may be one reason they continually want to publish and then bash the Leftist lies rather than mostly publish the truth that will actually defeat the lies.
