All you said is true, but they have to flog the meme if they want to keep writing for money. They constantly self-censor. Or they are part of the machine willingly?

I wonder at times just how miserable a life that is, telling half-truths for a job although outright lying like Faux pays much better. These writers are most likely educated and at one time thought they were going to be part of a respectable, socially valuable intelligensia.

Propaganda denies intelligence, blocks solving problems, refuses to give useful information or help one to use sound judgment. We are in the Goebbels age of MSM.
