The people who call newspapers "propaganda" are even more propagandized than the people they call brainwashed

Yeah, I read the New York Times, the New Yorker, The Guardian. Actual newspapers employing actual reporters.

They are flawed. They fuck up. They make mistakes. But, by and large, they try to be professional. They publish hundreds of articles every day. The overwheling majority are good and accurate.

Don't tell me "Chomsky doesn't like the New York Times. He says it's evil"

I'm not stupid. I know Noam Chomsky. I read his books. I read his model about manufacturing consent. I know he doesn't like the New York Times, but he sure like to read it every morning.

And he sure like to publish articles there.

For fuck sake.

You get your "knowledge" about the world from X bot accounts, TikTok, Russia Today, the Qatari Government, and Joe Rogan.

Don't call me brainwashed.
