Too bad more haven’t. A less propagandized America would be a fine place to be. And for people that think that local papers and TV stations are immune from being Goebbels on a smaller scale, I have news for them.
They even lie about the temperature so as to not to hurt tourism...seriously.
For me, I had known this for years, but the real kicker for me came in 2007 when I went to The Gathering of Eagles down in Washington DC. I went back to trooprally’s house with a bunch of the DC chapter of free Republic members, and we watched the news. It bore no resemblance to reality. For me, that was the first time I had actually seen that type of thing with my very own eyes.
I already believed that they were completely corrupt and untrustworthy… That just put a nail in the coffin for me.
I’ve had TV 2 years my entire adult life and watch no movies, listen to/watch revolting or degrading entertainment, get my news from FR and links, same thing with purchases (we’re so broke don’t do much of that anyway...)
I write letters to the editor often, gave Bracken’s trilogy to our County Sheriff, attend public meetings where he’s speaking and ask questions and let him know he has support (he’s a great constitutionalist). I’ve printed copies of Bracken’s articles for public meetings for others. I try talking to people when I can (don’t go out much, asthma). I figure if everyone who sees the problems does whatever he can do, large or small, change will happen.
Some can do more, some can do less. But everyone who wants to can do something.
