People say I'm "cynical" or "skeptical" or acting "judgmental" because I question everything I'm told or read (no matter the source) and test it for the truth. I say I'm being a "realist" when I do this, but maybe it's more likely that I've acquired a very good "bull-shit detector" (propaganda detector). I don't care for people trying to manipulate my feelings either toward or against others. After reading that headline, the first thing that popped into my head was, "How dare they try to make light of what actually happened there and blame the victims!" Reading Caitlin Johnstone may very well be the anti-propaganda medicine we all need.
