Others blamed the radio audience for its credulity. Noting that any intelligent listener would have realized the broadcast was fictional, the Chicago Tribune opined, "it would be more tactful to say that some members of the radio audience are a trifle retarded mentally, and that many a program is prepared for their consumption."

the establishment have long viewed you as a retard, since before you were even born,

and because they believe you are retarded, it gives them the right, even the obligation, to rule over you, for your own good.

so they prepare many fake news stories, for retards to watch, and listen to,

and then they blame the retards, for being retarded enough to believe it!

so every time the establishment rolls out a new fake news story, and retards actually believe it, it reinforces the establishment view that retards are retards.

its not that you are retarded, per se...

its that you are fundamentally a decent human being, and you trust people, because you see yourself as trustworthy, and assume everyone else is also trustworthy.

the establishment takes advantage of your trusting nature, exploits it every day, and they see it as a flaw in you,

instead of seeing themselves as the flawed people they are, taking advantage of other peoples trusting nature.

they weaponize our trust.

“We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality — judiciously, as you will — we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.”

― Karl Rove
