I'm not saying you should believe everything the media or government says, just that the specific lies they choose to tell holds valuable information about their motives, sponsors, allies, etc...

You are asking to be spoon fed the truth. I'm saying that if you learn to refine the truth, propaganda begins to have the opposite of its intended effect.

Let’s be clear: uncritically reporting the White House’s “nothing to see here” stance isn’t journalism — it’s stenography.

Yes, it is journalism. Access journalism specifically, which is still very useful, especially under a hostile government. It can serve as a launch point for investigative journalism (what Masnick is actually calling for here), without drawing fire from those in power.

Like it or not journalists don't have to prescribe anything specific to fill a role. Sometimes it is enough to let the ruling class feel heard, because no matter how opaque the rhetoric, even deceptive signals carry the truth.

By pubicly and officially assigning guilt before the trial, the chief law enforcement officer of the federal government has just:

  1. Tainted every juror that could serve on this case
  2. Proven her incompetence to the legal community
  3. Bought a place in the Trump family mausoleum

I'm pretty comfortable on the command line, but I also won't hesitate to boot a live disk and # dd if=/dev/zero the main hard drive the moment my gui refuses to load.
