"If you restrict information and only give people the established mainstream narrative of an event, then that is the only thing they are likely to accept, even when it is false propaganda from the government or mainstream establishment to push an agenda."

Yep, that's the plan.

Regarding the 'quality of news sources', I have always detested the appeal to authority logical fallacy particularly, and most of the authorities I have any experience with are utterly dishonest, liars to the core.

Particularly amongst the enemedia.

Thanks!
