and that's what was presented as recent news.

it was sickening.

if that was the only story you saw about this, you might think lapierre had a good idea.

that's our media.

2 reasons:

1) The sheep just repeat the empty lies they're programmed with.

2) It actually IS liberal compared to their mindset. Many repigs, now that the Overton Window has been moved by TPTB so far rightward, would think that Hitler was a "sensible centrist" if you repeated his policies back to them without mentioning the name.
