-- he may not even be aware that he's basing all of his conclusions on myths and lies. --

That's the charitable take. My point was that a significant number of these media twits is in fact willfully dishonest. Ends justify the means sort of philosophy. This writer is a myth creator, as well as myth consumer.

It’s hard to tell if a lefty is self deluded or is intentionally dishonest, or a mixture of the two.

As Sowell pointed out in his “Intellectuals and Society”,
“intellectuals” stop examining a topic or issue at the point
where they feel good about themselves for being “on the side of the angels”.

This is why they only credit themselves with being “a good person” for “saving the earth” and “caring about the poor” and will not further examine the destructive nature of the policies they promote to “accomplish” these goals. Feeling good about oneself IS the goal, and once accomplished, no further examination is done or required.
