Here's the thing, for me. I don't give a flying fuck as to whether "the attempt" was real or fake. Why? [View all]

Because it has been many years since I've trusted anything that the media feeds us. And, I don't believe a single word that emanates from any republican's mouth - probably since Reagan.

It leaves us in a curious place - not knowing the truth - but it is they that fucked it all up and led to this distrust. It is that which led to us turning off the TV 15 years ago, and cancelling our newspapers.

We are in a time where the primary focus is selling shit to us - ads all the time. And my wife and I don't wish to play that particular game.

I will get my news from the excellent posters here at DU, and links provided, and come to my conclusions from that.
