People believe the media because they like what the media tells them. They don't want to hear that the media lies, so they don't. It's the schools. It just took us this long to get over the tipping point. People have been told for generations to believe what they want to believe. There is no truth, so we believe feel-good fantasy. That's what we have been trained to do. That's all we can do. This will end, but not well. It’s not the media. People believe the media because they like what the media tells them.

Now, most of the time they don't even correct errors of fact if you email them. The left controls the schools, the media and the popular culture. I don't know what we can do about it. All I can think of now is to look after me and mine. Yeah, the media is blatantly partisan now, and most annoyingly, arrogantly so.
