I live in a super conservative, Christian area. The small local online news had an article stating there were TWO Republican candidates challenging Rep. Matt Gaetz in the upcoming primary. When I read the comment section, I was utterly shocked to see poster after poster totally convinced Gaetz, Nunes, and Pres. Trump were all that their media tell them they are, horrible, tying, deluded, etc.

This applies to other articles I have read in other local online news as well. I am literally stunned that in this area, 99% posters seem cemented and passionate in their delusions, and refer to Trump supporters as having “drunk the kool-aid”.

I shake my head in wonderment at how truly easy it was for the communists to brainwash Americans.

Television is the problem. The “news” is simplistic, partly because it is geared toward the entertainment seekers. That simplicity also allows for an easy perpetuation of lies, agenda and brainwashing.

I haven’t watched television news in many years. When I do get a glimpse now and then I find it so shallow as to be offensive.

We here on FR live in a bubble.

We seem to think that the Media has no effect on our fellow Citizens because they can see through it.

We give People credit for being intelligent enough to see through the Propaganda as we do.

I fear we are mistaken, but I continue to hold on to hope..

Is it possible that your newspaper might simply be a victim of spamming?
