There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge. -Isaac Asimov

If you want to blame anyone, blame the press.

The press is important. It changes minds. It is so powerful, the Framers of the Constitution called it the Fourth Estate. It is mentioned SEPARATELY as a fundamental right.

This idea that it is impotent is hilariously wrong.

It is just fucking stupid.

When you have a press SANEWASHING you have a complicit press pushing propaganda.
