People generally think journalists are trustworthy. That is ironically, in itself, a gross distortion of what I'm saying here.

- kelipso 2y agoLol maybe I am conflating the lack of deep skepticism of all writing by journalists with slackjawed belief in their writings up both end up being the same practically.
- racional 2y agoYou are, apparently. Whether this is a useful way of looking at the world or not is up to you. But in any case: no, they're definitely and obviously not the same. Just because someone's view of a particular situation isn't exactly as diabolically dark and sinister as yours -- doesn't mean they see it as all rainbows and unicorns, either.
- kelipso 2y agoIt's not dark and sinister lol. It's how literally everyone in the entire world views journalistic writing except Americans for some bizarre reason.
- racional 2y agoThat doesn't at all jibe with my extensive observation of both Americans and non-Americans. But hey, it's your life and you can keep on forming beliefs about the world based on crude (and frankly rather trite) stereotypes like this, as suits your fancy.
- kelipso 2y agoI will. Good luck in whatever little bubble you are in lol.
