No sense in giving away your power for convenience. By believing that all they do is lie, the government or media can fool you simply by telling you the truth. It's literally no different than the brainwashing of someone who believes everything the news says is true. They control both sides because they know you are too lazy to think in terms of gray area.

Much wiser is to simply use your brian, moran, and come to your own conclusions. Give them no power at all.
