It’s a good take.
A stable thriving America is boring to them, I guess.
I was born in ‘68 so my first memories of him were of a lovable grumpy grandfather type.
Not an anti American liar reporting on Vietnam
A stable America is an insult to many people especially those who have had a “book learning and a TV watching” education. I had the fortunate experience of being a military brat who got to travel the world with my father and mother. It’s a HUGE eye-opening experience to go to a foreign nation for several years and then come ‘home’ to America.
In my opinion America is the best place to live and for so many different reasons. Which brings me back to ‘book learning and TV watching” and comparing that to real first hand living experiences.
I believe it was James Burke who made the observation in the NPR series ‘Connections’. “That we now live in a world of Television and radio that brings the world into out living room. (That was before the internet.) That sort of exposure gives us the illusion of getting more worldly experience and knowledge about foreign lands. When in reality it just narrows our focus and we only get glimpses of the actual reality.”
And that is how the MSM can manipulate large populations of people, not just here but world wide. Glimpses of what they think is important or useful in a propaganda sense. But never the whole thing like you might get by actually being there.
Which leads us back here to the internet, the MSM has lost much of it’s ‘doorkeeper’ abilities. Real news or more often, contradictory news is getting out to those who care enough to look for it.
