Well said. It is something that has become so blatant, particularly in the last decade or so. Maybe it has always been there like this and I just didn't give it the same thought, but the mask is off and the hypocrisy of the media is very hard to listen to. I have to physically turn off the 'news' these days. It just doesn't correlate with reality. I watch the international news and all they talk about is 'terror' and then you switch to the local news and there is almost no talk about this terror. I guess it is because 'terror' really is largely a manufactured scare tactic. The West has lost it and it is scary to observe as I can only assume that this is what the people of Germany were going through as Hitler started to tear things apart. An informed outsider looking in often has a more nuanced perspective than those living through something because they are the ones living in the bubble and lack factual information. They know something is wrong as they are burning alive, but they stay in the pan.
