How did we get to a point where absorbing every news piece feels like reading tea leaves? You really do have to run the citations through an analysis and bias scan to get a read on their connections.

How did we get to a point where absorbing every news piece feels like reading tea leaves? You really do have to run the citations through an analysis and bias scan to get a read on their connections. Then you have to do the same with the "evidence" and its presentation. Finally, encapsulate the gist of the article in directionality. So, trusting the military viewpoints used to be pretty straightforward, men of action cut through the bullsh!t and told it like they saw it; but now we have General Milley and Darth Vader Austin to destroy that credibility. Then we have the leaks and distortions and spin put out by the agencies and authorities to cloud what we know about the evidence with the sole takeaway being that what we see doesn't match what we hear. My "spidey-senses" came awake when the last opinion expressed was that the vital exercise remains unity, and that we stick to a meta-narrative; otherwise, the Chi-coms and Russkies will divide us and we will fall into their evil trap. Trust Jake Sullivan or Winkin, Blinkin and Nod to unify us and guide us through the current world tensions safely? Sorry.
Well said Willie. The news is not the news. It’s a distraction. While “they” distract us with the shinning light on the right side of the stage, “they” are doing something else on the left side of the stage.
Then, when the fizzle stiles down, they shine the light on the left side of the stage (and the whole process starts again).
We “the general public” have to figure out the “truth” before the light is shining.

It’s a complete mind F@$K game.
Kudos to you for knowing how to analyze the BS and doing so.
