  4. ​ @sexytopramen  I always laugh when I tell people who consume corporate media that what they consume is, in fact, propaganda. Almost invariably, they agree that it's propaganda. They even usually agree that most people just mindlessly believe it. But somehow, THEY are different. THEY are capable of seeing through all of the lies and "seeing both sides," like your Dad claims. When I prove to them that they were misled and lied to, they get angry at me instead of the propagandists who deliberately misinformed them. No one wants to admit they were gullible/dumb enough to believe an obvious lie, and when someone proves it, people usually get defensive and lash out at the person who made them feel that embarrassment. In that instance, you have to remind them that you're just the messenger. It was the media that lied to them, and it's the media they should be angry at, not you. I think the Rittenhouse case woke a lot of people up to how deceptive and desperate the media is getting. By design, I don't have very many people in my life who are left-wing, but every one who is was under the impression that Rittenhouse is a white supremacist who illegally transported an assault weapon into a neighboring state and murdered three Black people. Many of them have since come to realize that literally every pertinent detail of that narrative was an outright lie. One guy in particular was almost in disbelief. "How could they so comprehensively lie about the details of that case and get away with it?" he asked me. "Carl," I told him, "95% of what the media says is a lie, and they get away with it because of money, power, and their connections to the political establishment. It's really that simple."
