13. What's good about this is how many more of us are aware of these sneaky-ass tactics

And the strategic thinking/manipulating that's behind them. I think many of us are smarter now. More shrewd. Better able to recognize and SEE THROUGH these deceptive messaging strategies. It helped build up the mental and political immunity system, seems to me. The more of us who recognize these bald attempts to doctor the news and the messaging, the better.

Remember: they're COUNTING on their viewers being unsuspecting, naive, and gullible. And trusting. Remember, they're "America's Newsroom." AND they're "fair and balanced." They faithfully and relentlessly remind us about that, and drive that point home so that we're all properly preconditioned, softened up, and brainwashed. That way, we're much more receptive to the demon seeds they try to plant at every turn. What could possibly go wrong?
