Here are six easy ways to know you live in a propaganda bubble and the Fake News Industry is malicious:
1. The Fake News tells you Trump is "lying" about the election being stolen as opposed to actually believing it, the way tens-of-millions of his supporters do. The Fake News mind-reading act is propaganda.
2. The Fake News tells you all of the election fraud claims have been rejected by courts. But where is the master list of all the (non-crazy) claims and which court rejected them and why? If that list doesn't exist, assume you have been fed propaganda, not news.
3. If knowing you are inciting domestic violence is a reasonable standard for impeachment, let's apply it to every Democrat who supported BLM protests or now supports a mostly useless impeachment. Otherwise, the impeachment is just a Fake News propaganda enhancer.
4. There is no acknowledgement that the Fine People Hoax is still the most damaging Fake News in American History. That hoax is STILL reported as fact. That is pure propaganda.
5. When Trump won in 2016, the Fake News said Russian interference in the election was substantial despite all evidence indicating exactly the opposite. When Biden won, the Fake News told us Russia had no substantial impact. That is propaganda, both times.
6. When the Fake News labels the Capitol assault a coup or an insurrection, that is propaganda, not news. The mob had violent people, but no resources appropriate to conquering a superpower and holding it. That OBVIOUSLY wasn't a plan. Reporting it as a coup is propaganda.

I sometimes see the world as a secret battle among persuasion wizards, sort of like the movie Underworld, in which the vampires and werewolves are waging a war that humans don't notice.

By this filter, I'm seeing a frightening signal. I'll explain.
When Democrats succeeded in persuading half of the public that Republicans staged an insurrection and didn't bring guns, we entered a whole new realm. As a hypnotist, if I had been on the team that pulled that off, I would have one BIG question. . .
I'd want to know if there was any limit to what you could sell to the half of the public that votes for Democrats. I would want to test it. And to test it, I would introduce to the news cycle a whistleblower with the most implausible story I could imagine. Yep.

I like the idea of wokeness, which I define as treating all individuals with respect and learning how best to do it. But like most good ideas, too much of it turns everything sour. For example…
Management is a good thing, but too much management is micromanaging. Alone time is good, but too much makes you sad. Even taxes are good for protecting the homeland, but too much taxation destroys the country. Wokeness is like that.
On a scale from 1 to 10, a wokeness level of 7 might be exactly what the Republic needs. We’re at 9, and the wheels are starting to come off. It is now irrational to associate with the overwoke. Too much danger of imagined harm.

Beware the Documentary Effect.

Here's an experiment you can do at home. Watch the documentary Leaving Neverland and you will be convinced Michael Jackson was guilty of child abuse, no doubt about it.

Then Google "Leaving Neverland debunked" and see what happens.
A well-made documentary will be 100% persuasive to the average viewer because only one side is presented. That's how we see all news and science In 2023 -- one side only.
But the debunk of the documentary will also be 100% persuasive because it too will focus on own its version of reality and omit anything inconvenient. The debunking of the Leaving Neverland documentary is thoroughly convincing, just like its opposite.
