I’m sorry. I failed to understand how deeply the Western propaganda machine is embedded within all that we consider “news” and uncritically believed the AP article because it “seemed true” i.e. confirmed my biases.

Then I got pressed and malded in the comments, when called out.

Thank you for education me. I have some serious learning to do.

Special thanks (and apology) to @Awoo @kristina @American_Communist22 and everyone else who engaged with me over multiple comments. Sorry for being so thick-headed. I’ll do better in the future.

    I didn't complete either book, but I think I liked Inventing Reality more. BS&R reads more like a polemic. It's good and brings a lot of common assumptions into question. Inventing Reality on the other hand really dives into how the sausage is made, who sits on the boards of which media companies, etc. Very fascinating and mindblowing shit.
