These policy and cultural changes seem so systematic in the dissemination of information. How much of what we take in is altered or colored to make it seem like it is the norm.? It feels very deliberate. To demonstrate their power and reach. I'm not even sure who "they" are. These past few years and months I feel like I can't really trust anything I read. Where is the line drawn? Who can I trust that doesn't have an agenda? How can we be sure of the validity of something out of our hands entirely. Business and political agendas are meshed to appear to be one and the same. How do we call out the bullshit?
