    John Stewart had a great segment recently where he really went off on “the media” but I kinda disagreed with his “there is no 2 realities” thing.

    I understand he means there is only one truth, the chicken either crossed the road or it didn’t, we don’t have Schrodinger’s chicken, but what we DO have are media outlets with a specific agenda that WANT to create an alternate reality where they are always the victim and they are always correct. Whether we like it or not we do have multiple stories of our shared reality and when you choose to follow one of them you decide what reality you want to believe you live within…

    Again, my daily mantra: I FUCKING HATE PROPAGANDISTS!

      I agree on the 2 reality thing. Anyone who disagrees can go look at this most recent trial coverage, or any of the hearings and see that is the case. Anytime anyone says anything it’s only for the clip to be on the news that night and that’s it. An endless loop of the same thing. I literally went to read the jury instructions on the NY court website then immediately saw a flat out lie about what they were.
