With last weekend's MAGA teen students protest stories and other events that were blown out of proportion and misrepresented, I have to wonder what the endgame is with the media. I see two probable causes, 1: It's misdirection to sway our attention from real news that would benefit the Republican tickets in future elections and B: Surely the media outlets know that in this age, every false story they spread is easily fact checked by even the average Joe Blow, yet they continue to force their agenda. Why? They know the average Joe Blow doesn't care enough to read past the headline, let alone fact check. They might be happy with controlling what the dumbest among us thinks since that is the majority of Americans. Yeah I said it, most Americans are quite content and dumb. As long as they get their check(be it paycheck or assistance), have their iPhone and drug of choice on standby and get their 225 channels on cable, they are not in the least worried about what happens outside their little bubble.
Fake news is here to stay, it is what we used to call propaganda, today it's called CNN
