(45,851 posts)Obama for instance has been intentionally deceptive on the drug war, he has said things that I know to be untrue and it's my belief that he said those things knowing them to be untrue.
So we less-than-elites are left with no one who we can trust to give us the unvarnished truth, which leaves us rather in the situation of the erstwhile Kremlinologists, having to sort through a great many small pieces of information, each of which may be true or untrue, and try to suss out which ones might be actually true and which ones are disinformation or outright misinformation and then build our overall gestalt on a foundation planted in quicksand.
You are one of the posters here from whom I have learned the most, I appreciate your efforts to bring facts and well thought out explanations of things that I'm not always interested enough in to chase down the truth myself.
I agree with what you say in this post in a lot of ways, indeed I have an OP up bemoaning the herd-like gullibility of DUers in falling for what is fairly obvious snark.
