To an extent, I have an understanding why there wasn't a universal opposition to the Disinformation Governance Board back in the day.
It's pretty common for my opponents to flippantly dismiss my views on the assumption that I got my information from FOX News.
I seldom do.
Still, there's this horrifying push by people to attack the sources rather than the ideas.
I think a large part of this is a desire to have somebody else do the work for you.
The reality is that, most of the time, if you read multiple sources reporting on the same event, you can extrapolate the truth of what happened.
The reality is that, if you just listen to FOX News all the time, you will have skewed details. Still, if you just listened to MSNBC, you're probably one of the morons who still thinks that Kyle Rittenhouse's mother drove him across state lines with a gun to shoot black people.
The entire media are skewed one way or another. If they could have buried the Eli Dicken story, they would have. If it weren't for FOX and YouTube, we probably wouldn't have heard the story -- a shocking number of people still don't know the story. You bet your ass that a Biden Administration with that kind of power would bury the story to bolster their narrative that 9mm bullets will rip your lung out, and that the good guy with a gun thing doesn't happen.
It's often hard to figure out who is lying to you. It's hard to check your own biases.
Still, that's no excuse to attempt to throw all of the power at the government to determine what is information, and what is disinformation.
You've gotta do some of the work yourself.
