We are truly in an "Age of Ignorance"

48. It's much worse than that, it's 100+ years of propaganda from everywhere

It's not just RW ideologues looking for suckers, it's way way worse than that. Corporate propaganda rules people's minds today, corporations constantly change their propaganda/sales pitches to target every market. Millions of people still believe entirely discredited "news" companies like CNN, MSNBC, Washington Post, NY Times, AP, etc..., despite those outlets being wrong daily about 1000s of "news stories" and refusing to even take a stand on issues like torture.

Until people in the U.S. realize that they are being exposed to pure propaganda from every mainstream media source they listen to then people will keep getting dumber. It takes a conscience effort to discard every learned and trusted "media source" and start over again with a new mindset of actual learning.

The old saying was "don't believe everything you read" and the new truth is "don't believe anything you read". Sounds harsh but that is the only way learning takes place.
