Because some people have what is called Normalcy Bias- and they just are not going to accept anything unless “the authorities” tell them so...(they are frightened, and do not want to be responsible for themselves- they need someone else to blame)

Being led by the authorities is human nature for low IQ people who are not intellectually curious.

Considering the bias in "mainstream" journalism, I am beginning to consider the major news outlets merely government sanctioned blogs.

True, but I’d think that on a site that led to the downfall of a onetime media icon, people wouldn’t naturally take the word/prefer the word of the MSM as if it were Holy writ.

I get that many blogs are ego strokes for their writers. But the throw out the baby with the bathwater BS that pops up regularly is doing nothing but helping the MSM stay in control of the news. And by extension, people helping the MSM maintain their grip are helping that.

Then again, I think principles matter so what do I know? ;)

There were plenty of high IQ Jews whose normalcy bias led them directly to the gas chambers.
