    "Freedom of the press" is a joke. I can see what our "free press" is doing with the butchery of Gaza. At a certain point you have to accept that your understanding of the facts is not, and has never been unmediated.

    Here is a good starting point if you want to understand the ways this has happened and more critically evaluate it.

        Can you make a coherent argument from their position, or do you not understand your own boogeyman?
