Especially considering what we know about the uneducation system in America. Now featuring flat Earthers.

Yup. News sources have been consolidating for the last 50 years. It used to be that every news outlets you watched was ultimately owned by one of 40 companies. Today, that number is 5. So if five billionaires get together and decide something is not going to be talked about, then it DOESN'T get talked about. This is why the Internet has them so freaked out. They can't control it (yet) so it's a threat to their version of reality.

This is also why our "liberal news media" does such a terrible job of speaking truth to bullshit. It's not necessary to report "both sides of an argument" if one side of the argument is insane, woo-woo dipshiterry. What they're doing there is gaslighting you into thinking that babbling nonsense is "just another point of view" It's not in the interest of billionaires to have informed citizens, capable of critical thinking, so the point of this exercise is to keep us fighting with each other about where the REAL source of our problems come from while they . . . the rich . . . run off with all the f*cking money.
