 Opinion | The Cheneys can’t do it alone. We need Republican all-stars for democracy. (On 1-9-22 the Enlightened Prisoner commented thus:)

The interesting results of a poll shown on today's CBS Sunday Morning was the largest number, (I believe it was around 60%) found it difficult to trust the media for what the poll called "Truth". 

Those of us who have put some thought in the current state of affairs in this country recognize this as an accurate reflection of attitude.  It's the direct result of the ongoing campaign by a troublesome cadre in this country, not to question authority as we saw in the 60's and 70's, but to question any faith in our established institutions of governance.  

Their game is to attack truth in any form and that attracts news makers who depend on their appearance ratings for existence.  Our ears and eyes are the victims of this constant assault that becomes a question of picking a tribe that appeals to our emotions.  

The real victim here is the lack of independent thought each of us should be exercising more.  As was said, "Think before you speak, READ before you think."
