That eerie feeling of never knowing what's going on anymore
Something that I never thought about but bothers me now- the inability to know what's going on with the news.
It's one thing to not know what's going on, but it's downright eerie when a news outlet is telling you what's going on, but deliberately misleads you. There's just something violating and unnerving when you're being deliberately misled. It's stressful.
There were two news stories I came across this morning and because of the media's adherence to LGBTQ activists' demands, I can't tell if I'm being lied to.

The stories: the first one was about Edward Kang, a 20 yr old New Jersey man who took a plane to Florida, to attack a video game rival with a hammer in his own home. When the police asked why, Kang said that the rival was a bad person online. The news released Kang's mugshot and honestly.......this person looked like a TIF. Maybe Kang is just very baby-faced and under-developed, but since the media fibs so much, I don't know.
The 2nd story was about a 74 year old grandmother who has been arrested for molesting children for 30 years. This grandmother apparently molested kids with other adults as some sort of pedophile ring.
This story had no mugshot at all. No picture. Only an interview with a neighbor who wanted to remain anonymous.
Whenever there's a "woman commits horrible crime" story with no picture, that often means autogynephile. Viewers love sick crimes committed by women, and definitely want to know all the sordid details. Media outlets know they'll get clicks and views, so it's odd to minimize the information. Those pics increase the odds the story will go viral, so they have something lucrative to cover.
It's entirely possible that this "grandmother" is a real woman and Edward Kang is a real man. But that's not my point- it's that the media is now compelled to lie, so I can't know. It's weird.
It's just one of the many psychological stressors that TRAs have inflected on society as a whole. That feeling that the media's true purpose is not to inform me, but to train me. To confuse me.
I always understood that the media could be biased. But now it's upgraded to outright lying, especially about crime.
Anyone else get that drained feeling, living in a world where you have to remember to adhere to some mass deception, a falsehood? For me it's just mentally taxing.
