Back during November 2019, I gave up watching mainstream news. Trump was on trial for the Mueller investigation. We don't have broadcast news and were visiting a resort, that had regular tv programming. During the morning, we watch much of the trials.

Night time was total surprise to hear trial reporting. Reporters turned Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman words like, "I think, I surmised, I guessed," into "facts" with their reporting. It was shocking that night to hear his opinions presented as facts. People all around the country believed what they had heard. Every news station was touting the same information.
That was the end of mainstream new. Switching from channel to channel, showed almost identical language as the news media mirrored each other, presenting the same lies as facts and using almost the same terminology.

Epoch times has been a refreshing change. Facts are presented and the reader draws their own conclusions.

It appears today, that most people would have someone else "directing traffic, then doing their own driving."

They want to be told what to think, when, why, and what to do, by someone else. Drawing conclusions from the reading primary source documents, is too much work. The easy way is to let a reporter "research (loose term, it appears, they really don't research anymore) summarize and present. And then just accept whatever they say.

We appear to have become a brainless society that gobbles up censored information, served up by the media as fact. The media now has control of what people think and do.

I would hazard to guess, that it is these "influencers" that are one of the reasons our country is in trouble. It is very disappointing
