This is at the heart of my current stress. I know people who are completely aware of the Judith Miller lies, yet who still use the NYT as their go-to source for news. I simply cannot understand the failure to recognize that Judith Miller was not an outlier; rather she provided a case study for normal news operations in MSM.

The term gaslighting is on my mind a lot lately. So many "educated" people keep returning again and again and again to the same sources who lie to them again and again and again. The parallels to an abusive relationship are beyond obvious at this point. How to get through to them? I've spent countless fruitless hours trying to figure this out.
