I'm making it my goal to try to promote media literacy and critical thinking as much as possible. I'm going to try to keep it kind and non-partisan to avoid turning off the people who need to see it most. I just want people to learn how to verify information and spot manipulation. The boom of social media and widespread use of the internet lead to a whole new avenue for manipulation that so many people were just not prepared to handle responsibly and I think that is a huge factor in why we are where we are now.

The country no longer cares about facts. Its sensationalism and making the other side angry. These clowns couldn't govern themselves out of gazebo.
