I wonder if this story is real.

My first thought, as well.

This should actually be the Go-To response for every detail in every article.

This should actually be the Go-To response for every detail in every article that originates with Faux news or any other source that lied to us about 9/11.

FTFY. If a source is censored or described as spreading 'misinformation', it's save to assume they're telling the truth.

Naw. The broad assumption that the MSM (and many alternative sources) misrepresents the majority of details still stands.

The goal is to create a certain world view amongst the populace. My go-to response is, "why are they presenting this info now, and with this angle? It's probably fake, or at best misleading."

You may be surprised to hear that at some point on one's journey down the rabbit hole it becomes apparent that the media that once was assumed to be factual, is also deceiving you.

Pretty soon you begin to recognize that both sides are in collusion against the public.

At that point you may also begin to see the merits of the other sides positions, and that they weren't actually stupid.

I was mistaken about many of the most relevant issues facing the world today.
Manufactured beliefs about issues.

It was sobering.
