re: Question for the old timers - is this era of fake news and blatant bias unprecedented?

You mean people back then were more easily fooled, were good little sheople



You mock them, but how exactly do you think they could have done otherwise?

Same way you do today; turn that shite off and actually talk to people.

9/11 is a perfect example. Instead of listening to what the fake news wanted me to believe as truth, I actually got off the couch and went to talk to people who were actually in the towers that day.
I questioned people who came back from Afghanistan.

I heard VERY different stories from what I was being led to believe by the establishment propaganda machines.

Granted, that sort of research was helped tremendously by the internet, which of course they didn't have back then, but there are older folks I talk to today that caught on - through life experiences - that the media was feeding them a load of crap.
