Was I wrong to characterize what you (and, to be fair, mostly Braineack) have written here over the past couple of years concerning Donald Trump and the commercial media in the way I did?

This past Saturday, in Springfield, Ohio:
Yup, that's a Norfolk Southern. Fortunately, this one was only carrying ethanol and liquified propane.

He's got it in his mind that I am a leftist who defends Fauci, does not believe that the CDC lied about a whole bunch of stuff, and doesn't believe that Trump was right about Covid 19's origin all along.
What I have actually said is that Trump is not infallible, and not all news media are in cahoots with the US Govt to spread carefully crafted misinformation.
He cannot distinguish between these.

Joe seems to be an absolutist, like the person who idles or floors it...no middle ground. An example:
"He's got it in his mind that I am a leftist who defends Fauci, does not believe that the CDC lied about a whole bunch of stuff, and doesn't believe that Trump was right about Covid 19's origin all along.

It's easier to discount someone's ideas when you've caricatured them first.

That's the only rationale which I can think of, though I'm certainly open to your explanation.

Serious question: If you do not believe that "I am a leftist who defends Fauci...", then why do you keep responding to me by posting links to articles with titles such as "Fauci Lied About COVID Lab Leak Theory, But Trump Told Us the Truth," with no further comment?
That's the only rationale which I can think of, though I'm certainly open to your explanation.

The larger truth is not that these things are true, but that we have an MSM and a government (and Big Pharma and Big Tech and Wall Street) who are willing to collude with each other in order to hide the truth from Joe Schmoe, who may be Democrat, Republican or independent.
So--again--my point in bringing up these issues as ISSUES, not people, is to discuss the ramifications. It seems that the forest has been lost for the trees lately.
