As much as I believe in the innate goodness of people, I also see the effects of massive propaganda and censorship and subtle and sophisticated manipulation.
Where I live, I see NPR as the big propagator of propaganda and censorship, listened to on a very wide scale among those who fashion themselves as the compassionate and caring left, dead-set against those science-denying and racist folk on the right.
