The downside of complete media corruption is that you (as a non-elite, average person) realize that you cannot evaluate the truth of reporting about anything that happens inside "the bubble". Cases in point, the serial implosion of the bona fides of people charged with helping Trump "collude" with Russia.

1) Carter Page

Russians opened Twitter and Facebook accounts, and used them to say bad things about Hillary Clinton and good things about Trump. They took out Facebook ads that did the same, and organized political events along similar lines.

That's what they're being accused of, anyway.

Just one problem: none of that is election fraud.

You know the news media is getting desperate when they had to write this headline.

When the Deep State is preparing for a war it uses a lot of propaganda to get the people onboard.

Granted, that first sentence is so obvious as to be laughable. Of course, we are propagandized into supporting wars. But even at this late stage of the United States most Americans don’t recognize what is propaganda. That’s why stating the obvious is necessary.

As I noted in an earlier post, if you thought 2016 was weird, then 2017 is getting even weirder. Several things stand out about the past 12-14 months.

You know it's bad when you can't tell the satirists from reality.

as big bad Trump is about to burn down their houses. Yes, like the pioneers (read: hostile takeover of native Americans lands) did when attacked by uncivilized yet deadly foes, they circled the wagons to provide mutual protection. Now even Fox Spews is cowering within the enclosure.
