 This is so true today and nothing has fostered it more than COVID. 

 The key to the behavior of subjects lies not in pent-up anger or aggression, but in the nature of their relationship to authority. They have given themselves to the authority; they see themselves as instruments for the execution of his wishes; once so defined, they are unable to break free. 

Plato's allegory of the cave is what 2500 years old?  Boot lickers are just a part of human nature.

I have been hearing the news around our area all saying how they have no viewpoints and are not biased.  All saying the same phrases.  I wonder who is writing this stuff and sending it out.

Is it your belief that journalists would be more accurate, more fair in a socialist economic system?

Your complaint is one about capitalism. 

Trying to change the subject to socialism is a convenient avoidance of any critical thought you may have regarding the consequences of the capitalist system.

AP, NY Times, Washington Post, generally speaking, write 95% of the narratives.  They fucking suck and the public is waking up to it.

I agree. Brutal at times.

The subject isn't socialism or capitalism, its media bias/misinformation. The question is simple, do you think mainstream media outlets would be more factual if we had a socialist system in place? 

You're refusal to compare/contrast is a refusal to think critically.

You're trying to refute my criticism of the effects of capitalist control of mass media with a hypothetical scenario.

Stop fucking relying on logical fallacies to comfort yourself.

Stop worrying about “msm” (that you guys link to when it suits you). Get your medical/vaccine/Covid info from any of the large medical institutions here in the US that do their own medical research.

….Or the FDA who’s approval you so desperately seek…..
