Do you ever feel that you were fooled by fake news when you were younger? [I'm Affectionate]

Absolutely. It was more subtle then, but once I learned what to look for, I was horrified at the degree of manipulation they used to make people think exactly what they want. They bend and twist the little truth they do use, pepper in negative descriptions of those they oppose, and lavish compliments on those they want us to like. I started to realize what was going on when I noticed the increasingly childish insults they directed at a politician they didn't like. I began to analyze what they said about him and others, and could see the propaganda for what it was.
