I completely agree. I was a child of the '60s, a teen of the '70s, and I remember every evening watching Walter Cronkite (or David Brinkley) on the 6:00 news, sometimes again at 11. That and the daily newspaper was all we had. How in the world, without internal connections, could we possibly know the Big Truths?
Then came the internet. And the media mask began to slip, slowly at first, but look it us today! We can learn information about current world events in minutes, sometimes hours.
Sadly, we must still be diligent to fact check it all, but before the internet, we could only trust the "news" (unless we had "inside sources", which were few and far between).
We are awake. Our eyes are open. We have information at our fingertips (still need verification).
THEY can't play their game any longer, and they are gob-smacked it seems.
