[quote:Anonymous Coward 72689071:MV8zNDE4MTkzXzYwOTc4NTY2X0ZBMzk3QTE3] Why do people read the National Enquirer? Fake news, conspiracies, etc are a part of every healthy culture. Extremes provide an anchor where the public discerns the truth in the middle. Unhealthy cultures do not use parody or conspiracies. The truth is a highly-controlled monotone drumbeat. If anything, "fake news" is actually helping Trump - It dilutes the extremes allowing for him to remain unfiltered. But here is the key - "fake news" historically alters the public's allowance for hypocrisy by allowing a greater tolerance for today's ridiculous headline. After all, if tomorrow will brings something new and even more ridiculous, why worry about it at all? This is how power wields extreme measures right under our noses. The public learns to not pay attention. [/quote]
Original Message
Just a thought here. I believe all this "new" revelation about "fake news" is being used to keep us all conflicted as to what to belive. If we can't belive anything, how can we unite for any cause? Mass confusion is a control measure. I fear Trump may be part of the game in this matter too. No, I'm not bashing Trump. I'm just saying that I don't think he's calling it out for the reasons everyone thinks he is. I think all are involved. If we can't believe any news sources, we can't believe what we may hear. They will use controlling "fake news" to hide things more than they already do. I think we should be careful of reverse psychology...smoke and mirrors.
