Always Question Authority and Official MSM Propaganda

in oligarchy •  7 years ago 

Accepting anything blindly without question is dangerous, no matter if its MSM or alternative media. Neither side is immune to corruption or false information. And there's a fine line between being healthy-skeptic and being paranoid.

Thanks for writing this! I hope the idea of not automatically believing everything you see gets de-stigmatized soon. It's not as strange as it seems.

    Thanks for your comment and I absolutely think we also have to be skeptical of non-mainstream media as well. There's certainly a vast ocean of disinfo/misinfo out there, but it can really be exhausting to use 'critical thinking' 24/7... perhaps turning off media and reading a good book is something we should do more of.

      Books are just as good, and using critical thinking 24/7 would not be a wise option.
