I work with some smart people, but they are like a deer in the headlights when it comes to the MSM. They will try to convince me that the MSM lies are truth.
It's the same thing with much of the r/SuperStonk crowd, they complain about how the MSM and financial news gaslights about GameStop and inflation but somehow think that the news about WuFlu and everything else is totally legit.
I first learned they make stuff up clear back in 1985 with the "exploding truck" story where they deliberately rigged a pickup to explode becuase they couldn't actually get one to blow up on it's own like they were reporting. I wonder what it takes for these people to question what they hear?

Truth. Unfortunately....
Q wasn't kidding about the 5%-10% that is lost forever. The rest? Some of them will never admit they are wrong.
Saw a meme, seemed to sort of fit:

Good point - I remember that.
Quelle explained this well in another post: it’s their ego.
