Funny that your #1 resource is Democracy Now. Aaron Mate, who used to work for DN, has wondered out loud "Wha' happened". If you listen selectively to what Amy says, you can gain support for your goals from her reporting. But way too often, there's the "fingernails on the chalkboard" experience that is so dissonant with reality that one can't take her seriously. I confess I don't have an example because I stopped taking Amy seriously about a decade ago so I don't pay attention to her any longer.

I suppose such an experience happens with almost all news sources.

But what am I to do with this list? Put mine next to it and then what?

You don't like Aaron Good because you claim he has "Weak critical thinking".

Jeffrey Sachs likes him:

It has been my experience that the people who criticize Good do so because of his Deep Dive into "The American Exception". They still hang on to this quaint idea that "America is a force for good", no matter how much you might criticize it, there's no recognition that it is rotten to the core.

That's where Norman Finkelstein comes in and explains the "Jewish Supremacists" who have infiltrated the US congress with the lone hero, Thomas Massie, explaining to us AIPAC control of our government, thus we can throw the "tail wags the dog" Israel conspiracy out the window.

It is the Deep State that makes these choices. Brian Berletic uses the "Deep State" products from Oligarchic financed "Think Tanks" to explain the "continuity of agenda" that overrides any elected political formulation of policy.

But this only makes sense because of Good's revelation of the nature of the "Deep State" which he says is a horrible label, but no other fits.

One has to endure Good's 24 hour YouTube series "Empire and the Deep State" to even begin to understand the breadth and depth of the true nature of the American economy and political system.

Lest one come away thinking this is just another "Anti-Semitic" screed, the "Deep State" arrived with the Puritans. The "Jewish Mafia" lead by Meyer Lansky was able to carve out representation in the Deep State and the "Boston Brahmins" are more than willing to let the Jews be the front that they hide behind.

It is quite unfortunate that many (probably most) reading this and coming across "Deep State" will immediately cover their ears and squeeze their eyes shut and scream "conspiracy theory".

What part of ["REMEMBER -> There is NO SUCH THING as 'unbiased news' or 'unbiased humans']" did you NOT understand?

What part of ["I PREFER to think for MYSELF (rather than to believe whatever someone ELSE thinks I should believe). And I don't have any heroes (but I do respect many people for many different reasons)"] did you NOT understand?

Are you suffering from 'reading comprehension' issues?
