Thank god it was on PMSNBC so no one heard it. :->
The reason they spread these kinds of lies is because it works, sort of. Not so much anymore, but they are masters at this sort of thing. It’s a kind of crowd control, because there is a herd instinct to human nature. So, it’s vital to create the notion in the great majority opinion that they really hold the minority view, that the mainstream is “extremist”, etc. I see this nonsense all the time.
