    Not just mainstream media but social media in general. People believe what they see in the internet, Right or Left, without question. The public LOVES videos but many are useless without context. In place of context, people substitute their own biases. Marcus Aurelius put it best, [h=1]"Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth."[/h]

    As proof of this, one of my Conservative friends shared this meme. 100% fabrication that just a TINY amount to time researching it would reveal. However, this meme fit his world view and so he shared it as if it was legit. THIS is the problem...

    Every time he opens his mouth I cringe. However. I THINK I understand what he was trying to say but as usual, couldn't frame a coherent sentence to save his life. The public spends an inordinate time trying to clarify his statements.

    I agree. They make poor arguments most of the time when trying to vilify him. In reality, he's not a villain. Certainly not a man I'd want my kids to model themselves after, sadly, but his "evil" is woefully overblown. Immoral...yes.

    Thats the by product of what Trump said once the media ran it through their narrative filter.
    Exactly!!! However, much of that is his own darn fault for his typically unclear statements. Say EXACTLY what you mean. It makes it much more difficult for others to read something else into it. Not impossible, but much more difficult. He is his own worse enemy for that.

    I do not think that word means what you think it means...


    It's not "spoofing" anything, it's just a pro-Trump campaign video.

    I cannot get over how people use their phones and then post such nonsense. Most youth get all there news from their phones. They don't read papers or watch nightly news. Social Media is ruinning our country.
