“It’s so crucial...”
Passive voice. Who taught him to write?
One Guy asks, why is it so crucial?
When the duty to advance the duly designated narrative is mixed into the air budding fake news journos breathe, the pumpkin spice lattes they drink, the whatever hip food it is that they eat, they need not even think or be awake to know that that is what they are being paid to do.
Crucial for consumers of news? The consumers of fake news are like the chronically cheated-upon spouse—”Lie to me, pretend that you love me.” They are using the so-called mainstream media news to learn what the lie of the day is. The last thing they are looking for is the truth.
Those who know that employees of any large, “mainstream”, corporate news organizations never, ever spend more than a second and a half listening to or watching those sources. Crucial? Once again, these kinds of people, who never settle, and are only interested in the truth, have long since left these organizations behind, including financially.
The only people left are those whose cognition is so damaged from the sinful lives they lead that they generally wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between the truth and a lie, even if this author went to every length possible to explain the difference. “Crucial” for them = all base forms of entertainment and satisfaction.
Sorry for the thinko:
Those who know that employees of any large, “mainstream”, corporate news organizations ***are inveterate, paid liars***...
But the quoted question from Krakauer which starts "Why wasn't there signs..." should be "Why weren't there signs..."
