The Truth

Your initial reaction to a news story is that which the reporters and editors wanted you to have ... and is probably misdirected. Good reason to seek out multiple sources before you can uncover the truth ... something that the internet allows you to do ... a happy plus to this technological cesspool.

(Of course, Google does like to lead you by the nose to those internet sites that it wants you to see.)

Quotable Quote

The news is awash with phony polls, narratives and statistics ... making reality a slave to its media masters -- Anon.

I Don't Understand ...

... how Google or Facebook or any of the Internet search, news, opinion, shopping or social-media companies make all the enormous ad revenues they do. I have never clicked on any of those online ads annoyingly scattered about their pages ... except by accident ... much too often. I suspect that this may be the secret purpose of touch-screens. Nor have I bought any of the crap featured therein.
