Quote:In an ever-changing, incomprehensible world the masses had reached the point where they would, at the same time, believe everything and nothing, think that everything was possible and nothing was true. The totalitarian mass leaders based their propaganda on the correct psychological assumption that, under such conditions, one could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust that if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism; instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them, they would protest that they had known all along that the statement was a lie and would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness.

Quote:____ have chosen hate because hate is a faith to them; at the outset they have chosen to devaluate words and reasons. How entirely at ease they feel as a result. How futile and frivolous discussions appear to them. If out of courtesy they consent for a moment to defend their point of view, they lend themselves but do not give themselves. They try simply to project their intuitive certainty onto the plane of discourse.
Never believe that ______ are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The ____ have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors.
They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past. If then, as we have been able to observe, the ____ is impervious to reason and to experience, it is not because his conviction is strong. Rather his conviction is strong because he has chosen first of all to be impervious.

I appreciate all your effort but unfortunately I'm not reading all of that.

A recent example is when Phil Mudd Calls Julian Assange a "Pedophile who lives in the Ecuadoran Embassy in London" and were forced to retract their statement when wikileaks threatened a defamation lawsuit. Had their been any factual information to back up his claims CNN would not have recanted.

Quote:Anyone who disagrees with a piece of news - even if it is NEWS, not an editorial - feels free to call it "Fake News."

Quote:Good. It's about time someone with his level of popularity publicly called them a news source that has 0 credibility while the whole country was listening. He also named George Soros while the country was listening.

Quote:Second, now one says that all news that is embarrassing to your side must be editorial and fabricated.
