The lost trust that 5hey never really deserved in the first place, but when they even rigged the cartoons in the papers to try and brainwash kids they lost me. It just got more and more obvious they were deliberately trying to manipulate opinion the older I got.
I can remember a time when there were two or more opposing papers in every town and when the entire speech of a president was printed, and the same for other speeches, without any commentary pro or con, and so, no bias.
Now they won’t even print one paragraph without omitting key words to twist the meaning of any announcement. Often they cannot even print an entire sentence... they always omit.
exactly! not only will they not print it, they will say “Trump was on the stump today spewing his lies again” or sometime like that.
“Nearly all children nowadays were horrible. What was worst of all was that by means of such organizations as the Spies they were systematically turned into ungovernable little savages, and yet this produced in them no tendency whatever to rebel against the discipline of the Party. On the contrary, they adored the Party and everything connected with it… All their ferocity was turned outwards, against the enemies of the State, against foreigners, traitors, saboteurs, thought-criminals. It was almost normal for people over thirty to be frightened of their own children.”
― George Orwell, 1984
