Thing about all that is it was lying then too. (many others as well)
The Times is one of the worst offenders of very carfully curated propaganda desquised as investigative "jurnalism" and presented conveniently to a captive audience in every doctors office waiting room..
The trick they use so effectively is to pretend an interview is getting at a truth when in fact it's designed to seem like that with leading questions so the "expert" can then sell the deep states agenda with his "story"
'press freedom' has been another hoax for quite a while. i guess it was relevant back when revolutionaries still printed pamphlets in underground print shops. empire took care of that by corporatizing public information.
The new generation always thinks this shits new. Its just new to them.
Say what you want about Ayn Rand The fountain head and atlas shruged etc made very valid points about how popular news papers can make a saint a sinner and a monster a hero.
Talk about making a monster a hero. She was rapturous for a long time about a serial killer, because he wouldn't apologize. She considered selfishness the highest virtue. But this just illustrates the more recent fact that the MAGA crowd keeps howling that mainstream media can't be trusted--and they're right, but not for (mostly) the reasons they focus on.
Rand is the most misunderstood writer in history ..and not for any of the reasons most people think.
Her own tribal narcisism was apparent but I'm the idea of the artists visins as in the fountain head modern people indoctrinated into the hiarchy fallacy paradigm it does not make any send to them..The modern mind through generations is filled with notions of victimhood and obedience to authority in a hierarchy.
I knew I would get all these demonizing responses to the simple mention of her...
The same way the system turned everyone away from anything that hints how an idea and concept is valid no matter where it originates. This whole arrival is about that and yet here we have it demonstrated in its own living color.
And now I will be also vilified for pointing it out.
Your mistake is to think that because Rand championed nonconformity she must be a hero even though she also worshiped selfishness, even in the extreme of getting starry-eyed over a mass murderer--because he showed no remorse. So he was so wonderfully nonconformist! Her family fled the USSR, and she reacted against the advent of communism, a rather extreme embracing of the common good over individual interest, by embracing the opposite extreme. The notion that we are and should be separate individuals, each focused on Number One, is contrary to human nature--with the exception of sociopaths, we need each other, we benefit from setting things up so that everyone benefits, so we work cooperatively. Most of us feel good when we help others, when we are able to work i n harmony with others. Seeing oneself as in constant conflict with others, and seeking to triumph over everyone else, is sickness.

I read one of her books. Not only was it boring but horrible.

The matrix has most of you.
Hi Chaz
I have never read any of her books, but perhaps will now, for the simple reason of curiosity.

Well she died alone and in poverty and had no friends!
she was a piece of crap in so many ways.
She was the poster bimbo for the neo-cons. Don't bother reading her.
