Yep. People have no way of knowing what is happening in the world except through trusted intermediaries. Those trusted intermediaries are not only not trustworthy, they're colluding on their lies for the specific purpose of destroying this nation and turning us into totalitarian socialist/communist one party state.

This is 90% of what's wrong with Americans. The other 10% are the universties which are effectively playing the role of Mordor, breeding SJW Orcs and sending them forth.
