- AndyMcConachie 4y agoDo you know what the truth is? Because I sure don't. The problem with blaming 'the public' for being stupid is that we're both the public and we might be the stupid ones. Media outlets lie, they also tell the truth sometimes. I think the biggest mistake we can make is to think that the media we're paying attention to is the 'right' media. The simple fact of the matter is that we're being lied to almost constantly and the only amazing consequence of that is that any of us have any sanity left at all. And the main reason for that is because we all think that we're right and those other people are wrong. But what if we're wrong? What if I'm the stupid sucker that believes the lie. Or maybe I've just read one-too-many Philip K Dick novels :-)
