RE: Do you still think the regular news is giving you the facts? Context, and knowledge matter...

Awesome article that cuts through all the BS we have to wade through each and every day from all sources of "news". Thank you also for the technical teaching.

When I was in my marketing course during my MBA (17 years ago), the professor gave an incredible insight I had never heard before. He said that marketers target the average American and that an average American has a 6th grade mentality!

It is no longer possible to get truth in any media source or from any government. It's all about an agenda, about manipulation of the masses to get them to believe their "truth" and to sway the masses for their personal benefit.

I think the world has made a sad turning point. No one will ever again be able to know the truth so they can form an opinion and direct their life based on that truth. Instead, they will form their opinions based on how often they hear something.

I might add that it's a bit like the "consensus" on global warming. Every day of the week I see one or more articles about how global warming will soon cause devastation to the world. Yet, we've had 75 major temperature swings in the last 4,500 years and the world is still humming along. What could the agenda be? I don't know, lots of people making money off alternative energy (Al Gore), more scientists today than at any time in history and they need to be employed...

I up-voted, resteemed and followed! Please write more articles. We need a reliable source of truth from people who actually think.
