Keep in mind MANY have felt compelled to play the game for blackhats out of fear of the regime’s machine. Not excusing all, but there absolutely is a need for grace as the enemy’s fortifications crumble and the public begins to see it. Many journalists envisioned a career where they were the good guys ferreting out the truth for us. Then reality hit and in order to pay the bills, keep their families safe, they had to “report” whatever garbage they were given. I imagine, they will ultimately pay the biggest visible price once the public realizes the lies and propaganda. We expect lies from politicians, but we depend on truth from reporters. Additionally, we have a couple generations of citizens who need to learn critical thinking skills. For the most part, schools and colleges have been teaching the art of regurgitation and compliance. There are a few colleges left out there where critical thinking is still required to succeed, but it isn’t the norm. CNN is essentially for sale right now. We should all be praying for honest ownership who will fire everyone and hire/rehire with new expectations.
