True. My point in this thread is that the Internet now has expanded information portals. Gone are the days of the 6 PM newscasts and reading newspapers. Simpler time for sure.
Folks, with the advent of the internet, have found ways to spread false information, continue conspiracy theories and basically control thought process, seemingly with no notice.
That scares me, especially when used over and above making money...now influencing the future of our country.
Matters not whether you lean left or right, this should scare everyone. Especially, in my opinion, if you refuse to acknowledge that you can, and probably are, be influenced online,
Lying has always been something I abhor, now it is becoming a science.
