Now hear this!

The talking heads on Fox are telling us the protesters are paid agitators when, in fact, the talking heads on Fox are the paid agitators.

That is all.

“Projection is the process of displacing one’s feelings onto a different person, animal, or object. The term is most commonly used to describe defensive projection—attributing one’s own unacceptable urges to another. For example, if someone continuously bullies and ridicules a peer about his insecurities, the bully might be projecting his own struggle with self-esteem onto the other person.”
