It's different only because it dares to make that one extra step, cross the line and detach completely from reality. I get what your point, and generally sympathize, but unfortunately the "mainstream news" has already lost the plot in what they publish and broadcast with a straight face. The recent impeachment hearings were but the latest example, whereby the video of the hearings completely contradicted the paper headlines in the WSJ and ticker stream on CNN. The genie is out of the bottle; as in, there is no truth any longer about things far away from you. The only way to deal with this is to become smaller -- smaller in our communities and concerns, and focus on that. Not worrying about national politics, or nonsense happening in faraway countries, but about our own families, neighbourhoods, and communities. The smaller scale will mitigate a lot of the reality distortion that is currently occurring, plus it will make for better living standards all around.
