At some tipping point (and maybe that point has been reached, its difficult to judge) when a sufficient number of the population realizes the Leftist media propaganda for what it is, it will have the opposite effect. The harder the media Leftists try to create their self-reinforcing mythologies, the more obvious it becomes that it is false, agenda driven propaganda, and it will have the opposite effect from whats intended.
On the other hand, spending our time on refuting the endless campaigns of false mythologies saps time and energy that could better be spent on more effective pursuits. It is just like winning an argument with a child - Even after the point is won, the child will usually not accept that they are wrong, they only lick their wounds and engage in fantasies that somehow make them noble, righteous and of course, “they were right all along”, regardless of the facts or reality.
People who belong to cults or high control groups like the JWs, Mormons, Scientologists etc. exhibit the same characteristics.

Well stated. This also supports the other thread about Feelings. To the MSM it’s always about how to make you feel something quickly, so you won’t take the time to check.
Once proved wrong, you want to feel good about being wrong, so you invent some explanation for yourself to fell OK.
