How can you be sure that the things you know are true… are actually true? We have access to more information than any humans in history but we can't process it on our own. In fact, almost all of what we know comes from others. We come to rely on people and institutions to tell us what to believe and not to believe. And it turns out there are huge consequential differences in how Americans form those relationships, relationships which serve as the building blocks for how we shape our own views of the world. So what happens when someone tries to manipulate that trust? If you ask David Roberts, you need only look at the current conservative movement to get your answer.

The Information Crisis with David Roberts | Why Is This Happening? – Ep 33 | MSNBC
Hey Chris, why doesn’t anyone on MSNBC ever interview Noam Chomsky?
That’s all very well, But Flerfs (Flat Earthers) are actually stupid.
Why would the media choose to interview people who have admitted that even if they the president ‘has ‘ ,”due process “, they are still going to vote against this no matter the facts of criminal activity. You by allowing them to say things like your witnesses quotes are heresay. It’s just bewildering ,makes the republicans conspiracy of a new Atlantis seem true. As Orwellls book was a blueprint and this impeachment may be the fruition of that
” ancient hope”. <<<
