    The right and left info tunnels are at war with each other as are the Americsn and Russian ones, leaving us ordinary folks to, if we’re smart about it, ignore them in two ways: 1) by checking their facts and 2) by accessing sources unbeholden to the political hacks and the various governments. This means sources outside the beholden mainstream and independent reporters. After that, you use logic and common sense.

    This approach, to use the recent example, leads me to believe that the U.S. is responsible for sabotaging the Nord Stream pipelines, not as a dead certainty, but as the explanation that most conforms with logic and common sense.

    I don’t believe it because Russia says so because Russia does not take the position that the U.S. did it to my knowledge (so, if they did, I’m not basing my view on that fact). All they have said on the subject to my knowledge is that they want a full independent inquiry. I’d like that as well and so should you if you value truth.

    Unseen,

    To put the kibosh on any coming MDM, one thing the TYT story does not show, based on the facts presented, is a legitimate case of Castle Doctrine or Stand Your Ground.

    The young man on the outside did not break the real or imaginary planexof thexold man’s dwelling, nor was the old man threatrned with death or bodily harm. The old man has no leg to stand on here.

    Unseen,

    Another thing to clarify: I suddenly felt absolutely decrepit using the term “young man.” As you can tell from above, my hands started getting creaky just typing out the words.

    This story by a more neutral independent news source than Jimmy Dore should help you understand what I mean when I ask who gives you your opinions. If someone doesn’t know that Marianne Williamson is running for President despite the fact that she polls at 14% already, that’s understandable. Why? Because the mainstream/trusted/major media, working hand in hand with the Dem Party establishment, is trying to make you believe that Biden is your only choice.

    Reminder: Even a majority of Dems would rather the party put someone else forward. Unfortunately, it seems that the party’s elders have already decided that Biden will be the next Dem candidate. And, if you’ll remember how well they squashed Bernie Sanders’ 2020 campaign, it’s clear they know how to do that. The Marianne Williamson lesson shows you one tool in their toolbox.

    Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar is a fearless anti-establishment Youtube show and podcast.

    In other words, just populist commentators looking for subscribers.Β  Wonder how many reporters they have out in the field digging up the fine points? Not a one. So, just like a religion they regurgitate the same crap over and over. Fauci is the devil, ad nauseum. Everything real is “Fake News”, LOL.

    So, do I get my news and opinions from them and the others whose only goal is to stir up a shit-storm with every idiotic populist podcast, to get views. No thanks.

    And if it comes out that Biden had nothing to do with blowing up a pipelines, it doesn’t matter to them, they got their view count. There will be no retraction like the BBC does.

    You really think Biden controls the BBC? That’s my daily source. I’d really like to see that evidence if you do. A democracy fails when its citizens become morons. When they fear and hate intellectuals and scientists. When racists come out of shadows. When elections don’t matter. When they believe that Bill Gates is putting microchips in vaccines.

    The fact that Trump can get millions of votes after his intellect and character have been on public display for a decade certifies that we are there. It’s just a matter of how fast the country self-disintegrates into some sort of civil war. So I’ll skip getting played by populist shills, thank you. I really don’t want to play a part in speeding it up. Americans hating each other. It’s pathetic.Β  Teaching kids to hate.

    But it’s a free country, LOL.

    @robert

    The post isn’t about you.

    The point is that, for many Americans, who rely on the mainstream media, many will be largely unaware that there were other candidates. When the Dem convention happens, they’ll be confused because they thought Biden had already been nominated.

    Yes, webloggers do need to make money if they are going to earn a living. It’s the same if they want to make a living out of bicycle repair or manufacturing airplanes. It’s not a sin. However, if you are mainstream media, you are beholden to business and political interests who are not that interested in the truth.

    (BTW, apparently the Democratic Party overlords have decided not to provide funds for any primary debates. I wonder why.)
