I don't care what people tell me. I look at data, and I try to make informed and, more importantly, critical decisions. The critical is the important part, and it's what separates me and you. I'm comfortable challenging the status quo when it doesn't make sense. I rarely ever just swallow what I'm told, and, when I realize I got lazy and did that, it shames me. I feel literal guilt when I repeat a lie. 

I have more time than most to research what I want to, and I just happen to care about most politically relevant topics. I'm not [BLEEP] on Marty for not knowing... I'm saying he has a media group that is constantly lying to him, and he just doesn't realize it. It wasn't just that site that lied. I can probably produce at least 10 different sources that ran with that story. Our media lacks credibility. Period. You and Marty and the like are constantly being lied to by people you should trust, and you haven't yet begun to question why that is. You don't even see it half the time. You're still over here bloviating about Trump lying about Mar-a-Lago, while the NY governor is trying to do damage control to keep other billionaires from leaving the state. People in-the-know know it's a crooked decision, but not you.

I sincerely believe most of them do realize it but they’re being told what they want to hear so they don’t question it.
