“Okay. What the hell is gaslighting?”

It’s not what she says it is, i.e. silencing. She obviously doesn’t know the meaning nor the origin of the term.

What it means is bamboozling someone, or driving a person crazy by psychological manipulation, making you believe what isn’t real. A form of psychological warfare.

It’s essentially what the lame stream media does to the American public everyday.

The term comes from a movie of the same name.

Wow. I can understand why the Fake News Media would do that. They have an agenda they want to advance.

But why would a person do that to another person?

Ding Ding! We have a winner.

Two weeks ago the MSM criticized Pres. Trump for saying the US had done the most Corona tests of any country. They were very concerned about the numbers of tests weighted by population.

Yesterday the MSM breathlessly announced the US had the highest number of Corona deaths of any country. Now the same MSM is *not* concerned about reporting numbers of deaths weighted by population.
