Every week I find a new thing that people are amazing ignorant about and they often use "I don't have time" as an excuse while I'm like "I'm not less busier than you yet I'm able to stay informed, you're just in denial about being lazy."
Or maybe people are already programmed to ignore the phrase, I've name dropped "operation mockingbird" and "mockingbird media" so often and people don't even ask what it means like they're programmed to not even perceive the words.
It's that programming. That preconceived idea that "I know all about that topic" but we only know what we search out facts or proof of. I have learned so much that I thought I knew. PERSPECTIVE matters. As I started to see how facts and wording of the articles have an agenda. Paying attention to Those word choices and how they drive the story. The absolute power of the media has been my biggest learning moment.
