I disagree with your assessment. "Verifiably false" typically means "Corporate media says it's false."


Media on all sides cannot be trusted. You're being downvoted by people that trust media.


Everyone who tells you something had a reason to do so. If it wasn't "you paid them", then its a good bet someone else did. Even when you paid them to tell you the truth, you have to assess what they mean by "truth" and how honest their effort to deliver it was.

If a doctor says "take this pill," do you huck it down or look it up and see if its something you actually wanted to eat?

People trust "authority" too much.
