Well, I do not know how old this author is. But it seems to me that he may have embarked on the path of enlightenment and self-discovery that eventually leads him to reject liberalism in all its forms.
One step of that journey is to realize and accept the fact that the media lies. He seems well on his way to that realization.
Great post: Questioning the media lies leads to a long look down the rabbit hole.
Even the best journalists with the best intentions have a difficult time accurately describing a meeting or gathering. What is important? What is not? Do they have time to check all the facts and get them correct? Often they have deadlines and make mistakes.
Then if you add some liberal bias to the mix you get a toxic brew of propaganda far removed from the actual event.
I totally agree with what you are saying. I did a little digging on that website and came up with a picture of the author Jon Hoff and as both you and I suspected, he is young. You could tell just by the way the article was written. This is a young person on the voyage of discovery. Someone who is a Bernie Sanders supporter but who has an open mind.
I can see by your name that you have probably also made a similar journey. As for myself, when I was young, I was an idealist so naturally I was a little more left of center. Yes, I voted for Ronald Reagan, but at the same time I also was interested in what Lyndon Larouche had to say. As a young person, the ideas of ending world hunger and poverty appealed to me as it usually does with everyone who is of a high mind. However, as the years go on, if we are honest with ourselves, we come to realize the pack of lies that socialism/communism sells. I would be disappointed in a young man who undergoes a complete change after one Donald Trump meeting. In my opinion, he took away the right lesson. Trump is not the be-all/end-all to classical liberalism but his followers are intrinsically. A seed was planted. I would not be surprised if in five years or less this guy is on our side....
