Eric Zuesse: No country in the world has a press that's more dishonest than the United States of America does. Only people who possess a thoroughly scientific orientation toward confirming and disconfirming allegations, are capable of extracting from such 'news' a realistic understanding of what's actually happening. The vast majority of people can be fooled, and they can be fooled constantly and even for decades, and yet still trust the institutions that have deceived them so mercilessly through all of those decades. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote7988
