A person who possessed the ability for even a small amount of self-reflection would ask themselves how it is that they have continually fallen for completely bogus stories. What is it about them that made them so susceptible to believing these bogus stories?
Especially if you're someone like the Dazzler who thinks its so devastating that someone else bought into some bogus video by a guy named Joey Salad or if you're a lying sack of shit like IC who routinely makes false claims about other people buying into pizzagate. -
That's my conundrum. I'm just not built like either the dazzler or Dan Rather. I'm intellectually curious and value honesty and integrity. From the lowest level of leftards here on the shed to the highest level of leftards in the MSM and dem office holders - they are all the same. They are happy to just blatantly lie about the most obvious things for power. When you need to lie to make your point, maybe you don't have a point. Some parents and public educators might take some advice on this. Never tolerated my kids lying to me. I have no idea how sh*tty the dazzler's parents had to be and how bad his public education was to turn out such a trolling POS. And he is proud of it.SFGbob said:A person who possessed the ability for even a small amount of self-reflection would ask themselves how it is that they have continually fallen for completely bogus stories.

It really comes down to how much you value truth, facts and accuracy.WestlinnDuck said:

You would think that you might be part of our public education creed. Not even close, they start lying and indoctrinating the kids from day one.SFGbob said:

Glenn Greenwald gets it. What continues to exacerbate this is the sheer volume of news. I recognized maybe two of those stories. Shit gets invented, disseminated, and absorbed so fast, that we barely have time to fact check before it's on to the next bombshell of a story. Which may or may not be real.

I don't know. The Mueller fraud and the impeachment seemed to keep the attention of the media for three yearsGreenRiverGatorz said:Glenn Greenwald gets it.

It doesn't seem that difficult for them to look at the biggest abuse of power in memory and keep it front and center instead of actively burying it -
They sure don't have a problem continuing to propagating the Charlottesville lie or the claiming that Trump had a Muslim ban or called all Mexicans rapists.RaceBannon said:

Exactly. And not even burying it but promoting the lies to the point of impeachment. This wasn't smart and honest reporters being swamped by information. This was active participation in promoting lies. Leftards lie and love to be lied to. Look at the leftards here on the Tug.

They weren’t failures. It was deliberate disinformation in coordination with the DC establishment. As Van Jones said, it was all a Nothingburger.
