I wrote about how media outlets took Trump out of context to suggest he called undocumented immigrants at large "animals," when in context it appears he was referring to members of MS-13http://money.cnn.com/2018/05/17/media/media-trump-animals-immigrants/index.html …

That, and also learning that sometimes there really are conspiracies at work. We've had literally hundreds of "scandals" against Trump. And every one of them has turned out to be false. You'd think people would see the pattern and start to doubt what else they think they know.

Incredibly, the lies have been implanted so carefully that people doubt the follow-up that proved the lie false. "Well, I /just know/ Trump is really guilty, even though he slipped out of it /this/ time, slick-eel-style. It [I] will be proven true in the end."

Reading a text rhetorically helps with the "free thinking" part. Confirmation bias goes both ways. Being ignorant of another person's experience and judging them with zero knowledge is slapping a stereotype on somebody and trying to compartmentalize them to fit your worldview.

Call me crazy, but someone who speaks against the grain and willingly suffered major financial headaches for it (not to mention the public viciousness of leftists) is more likely to be a free thinker than someone who merely parrots what the media says.

Scott, couldn't your two comments in this conversation be applied to you as well? Are you exempt from these fallacies?

Your thinking is not free. You are dependent on the success of Trump.
