So people know not to trust the media, that was your argument with:
I would say a very large number (I used a arbitrary percentage for impact) of the population , has been able to tell fake articles from any real news, it was never a big an issue as "THEY" made it seem to be.
But, you invalidated your own position when you say that they fell for it and gave support for the removal of first amendment rights..
How can you attribute the vast majority, lets just stick to that, with the ability to distinguish truth from fiction so to speak, yet, they end up trusting the people(THEY) who haven't been able to successfully dupe them, and not only end up believing these people who they could tell were lying, but they end up giving support to subjugate their own freedoms.. how can you even function without going completly mad in such a situation where your fellow man knows it's a lie, but all of a sudden the lie they know has become a truth they support?
First, it doesn't make sense, period.
Second, you're building a mind frame of "us vs them" with the dynamic of absolutely NO COMMON SENSE, completely stupid, utterly idiotic. Either they have control over the attitude of the people or they don't, either the people believe them and have no reason to question them, or they don't.
Uh... People trust the media for the most part, but they can tell the difference between fake news articles and real... Two different things... I didn't invalidate anything... And I didn't build the Us vs them... It's been around long before my time... That's why the Government has had to blow up our own ships to convince Us to go to war.. Been this way forever
Many people care. Everyone should care.. Any true American should care... The first Amendment just got wiped out basiclly..
And I have no idea what you mean "people trust the media to lie to them, and not to lie to them"
People think what the MSM tells them is true, CIA controls MSM for that very reason, when the MSM told people these "fake news articles" they were seeing on FB were a problem, people thought it was true... They were told they came from the Russian, they also think this is true... And yet the "fake news articles" did nothing to change anything... Only MSM's big production of it
He was saying that 98% of the people could tell the "alt news" disinfo mills they set up were fake but that they still primarily trusted the MSM. That way, when the MSM sources used all the disinfo the same forces that are behind them had spread to establish the "fake news" narrative they believed it was Russia or whatever and helped discredit actual alternative media.
