It demonstrates how ideas based on questionable to completely false representations of ideas or supposed facts become part of the divisive political discourse, and how what is left out of some reporting, or even what is left out of a supposed comedy routine, for instance, which might be presented as “just comedy” rather than news with a guiding attitude, says more than what is intended to be said.</p> <p>I recommend as a quick read and will come back later and expand on what it says to me.</p> </div></div></div> Wed, 14 Jun 2017 19:39:21 +0000 A Guy Called LULU comment 239372 at http://dagblog.com
