People tend to believe what they want to believe and that explains a lot of the far right leaning and if you think ALL news is being manipulated by the left or the government, you might be the one being manipulated.

Well, the way you put it," people tend to believe what they want to believe", it would explain a lot of everybody's leaning from far left to middle to far right . . . also why most people, according to that believing what they want to believe syndrome, don't actually know much. They just believe stuff.

and if you think ALL news is being manipulated by the left or the government, you might be the one being manipulated.

Personally, I haven't run into anyone who thinks ALL news is being manipulated by the left. I'm mostly concerned by government manipulation of political speech being done by any form of government from whatever direction, left to right or middle or anarchical.

except no one is claiming that.

common tactic among the dim…when you can’t respond to what was actually said, then pretend he said something he actually never came close to saying, and respond to that instead.
