Due to gaslighting by the media itself. “If you don’t believe what CNN tells you, you’re a conspiracy theorist”.
From Thomas Jefferson's letter to John Norvell, June 11, 1807
To your request of my opinion of the manner in which a newspaper should be conducted, so as to be most useful, I should answer, “by restraining it to true facts & sound principles only.” Yet I fear such a paper would find few subscribers. It is a melancholy truth, that a suppression of the press could not more compleatly deprive the nation of it's benefits, than is done by it's abandoned prostitution to falsehood. Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle. ...
I will add, that the man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them; inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods & errors.
I have been around for a “little while”
Believe me the Mainstream Media has ALWAYS BEEN ON THE SIDE OF SOCIALISM.
What has been unknown to them is that...IT DOES NOT WORK, PEOPLE ARE NOT STUPID...WHAT DID HAPPEN WAS THAT THEY REALIZED THAT SOME PEOPLE REPORTING THE NEWS...GAVE THE APPEARANCE OF BEING MATURE, REASOABLE AND FAIR..
Only to discover that all those people were scam artists...and it is taking a looooong time for our Patriotic Citizens to realize and accept this
BOTTOM LINE: MAIN STREAM MEDIA ...SUCKS!!!
If CNN told me that the sun was up at noon, I would go outside to check for myself.
in private only 7% truly believe it.”
How do they know? Did they take a poll?
Aren't those of us who pour money into their coffers part of the problem, regardless of whether or not we believe them?
Even if only 7% it is still easier for one to be fooled than to admit one has been fooled.
Patently impossible for me because I trust them not at all. If David Muir told me the sky is blue, I’d go outside and check.
