censorship is stupid

If you let them make fools of themselves, things work out better.

If you believe people are too stupid for that to work,

A: you are an elitist, and

B: you should be helping educate them so they aren't, or

C: Admitting that there are a lot of genetically stupid people on earth and equality under the laws isn't the same thing as we're all equal. (I'm all for the former, and the latter speaks for itself with a little observation)

The cognitive dissonance is deafening.

The MSM has always lied. Think of any major event they reported you were present for, and compare what you saw with what they reported. The get the sportsball scores right, usually. That's about it. The rest is VERY colored by the ownership's views at the least. No, they don't tell reporters to slant things this way or that - they hire the ones already slanted or who easily figure out which side of their paycheck is buttered. People do what they are incentivised to do.

And in this world, if it bleeds, it leads, rubbernecking is a sport, and it sells ads - incentive.
