You're attacking all sources, which is what I'm saying. That's exactly the endgame of this world of 'alternative facts' and 'fake news'.


So.. what source did I attack lmao?

Really strange that you somehow came to that conclusion. Just as weird as your interpretations of the news outlets you use...

99.9% of news actually does have a bias by the way. Doesn't mean all news is fake, or lying, but it does help to take news from different outlets as opposed to ones that all lean the same way.

Sure, so then you use some good ol fashion critical thinking instead of being beaten into being apathetic about everything that's happening around you.

Almost all news will be bias. You just need to be critical of all sources and then from those come to your opinion. Not just read a couple articles from the NY post or something.

I agree with you guys.... Problem is the majority is either going to be too stupid or too lazy to think critically and give rational second thought to what they see/read.

Arguably the biggest drawback of living in a democratic society is the fact that a mouth-breathing, knuckle dragging caveman gets to vote in the same way as everyone else.

As a result of this it is extremely easy to control just about every aspect of our lives. I would recommend reading John Gatto's "Dumbing Us Down".

Most people just haven't been taught how to be critical thinkers. It's why voting in general is flawed.

Americans did go full American Idol last election, but the other side of the coin is that Trump did lose the popular vote by a pretty good margin. Their two party system is just broken, but there were other shady factors at play too. Either way, safe to say this is the last reality tv star the elect in a while.
