The most difficult job in today's bizarre world is separating fact from fiction. The mainstream media, of course, is knowingly broadcasting almost pure fiction 24/7 and hoping to convince you it's fact. Anything they don't want you to believe is branded a "conspiracy theory" -- a phrase used as a pejorative, almost as a kind of hate speech against the intellectually curious.

They're just trying to get people fired up and watching.| Mark as read | Best of... | Permalink
