re: #80 dangerman

- yes, trump is engaging in disinformation
- no, we are not having an existential fight to own or define ‘the truth’

the truth will out (and the media would be just fine) if it were reported
- fairly
- simply
- dispassionately

I’m not so sure. These sorts of propaganda blitzes have happened in the not-so-distant past (Germany, Rwanda, &c).

The media is mostly controlled by a handful of corporations. They are not interested in truth, they are interested in profit.

Since I don’t have a television set, tell me how many Democrats are on the Sunday political shows today to argue why the Democrats are opposed to giving a single dime to a monument to racism which was promised another country would pay for, versus Republicans on those same shows blaming all of this on Democrats.
