I know we are all aware that the internet is being used to manipulate us politically. A couple of current examples. The NYT piece on how the democratic party can unify by making Bloomberg Secretary of State and requiring Bernie to give up his right to pick his own running mate and cabinet. This is setting context--so that when Bernie does not embrace this proposal, and the super-delegates are stealing the nomination from him, they can cite the need for party unity--which they can then say, Bernie rejected, as the reason. We should all know that the NYT gives worse and less fair coverage to Bernie than Fox News. The other has to do with the Corona Virus. I am in a Cajun culture and language group where a picture of empty shelves at a grocery store in response to the Corona Virus was shown. Someone said, why this virus, and why now (for the big scare campaign) and gave a couple of links saying that it was just one more election year scare tactic being used by Trump. This got taken down. So I put up the apolitical numbers, that worldwide, the mortality rate for the annual flu runs about at 13%, while the corona virus runs at about 3%--I have gotten numerous likes and it is still up. Just remember that thinking positively anything political from the NYT is a lot like thinking the guy in the van with the puppies is just trying to be nice to the kids.
