    Demonstrable lies relates to being able to prove that they are lies. I believe that people should be allowed to lie all they want, but I also believe that our trusted (ha!) news organizations no longer call any of our politicians on those lies. Even when they do, they couch it in softer terms.

      I agree.

      Due to the above, I think people should also read and watch independent journalists, in addition to just absorbing owner-class media, so we can see diverse narratives and framing from others.

        It’s funny, I usually find you insufferable and difficult to understand, but I think we are in agreement on this at least.

          Oh, hahaha, it is not on purpose; I continue to try to improve my communication skills so that happens less often.

          Thanks for letting me know!

            I have not blocked you because you are clearly quite intelligent, even though I often disagree with what you say. I am very much interested in your conflicting views.
