Please! I'm "effing" begging you. Stop watching the MSM

68. About (only?) monitoring "less biased sources" - the assumption is that those of us who *do* monitor

opposition sources are not able to detect the bias. In fact, doing the detecting is the basic reason for monitoring those. This has been said many times over the DU years: "Hold your friends close but your enemies closer."

The flip side is not to only hear what we want to hear. That's what most Faux Propaganda Network fans do, is to patronize the outlet that tells them what they agree with.

It's opposition-research, watching out for what "they" are up to and therefore figuring out how to counter them.

It's critical thinking - processing what's being put in front of us and separating what is b.s.

There's a short story somewhere that I can't find anymore by Romain ROLLAND from during and about the rise of Fascism, in which a highly cultured, educated, High Art fellow, a professor, is totally shocked and appalled when he realizes what is happening with the coming establishment of horrific barbarity. So he shuts himself up in his estate with his paintings, music, books. Solitary confinement in his world the way he wants it to be. That's about what the head-in-the-sand is about.
