While I might be an a-hole, I'm serious. I have several journalists that I actually know IRL in my feeds that I respected and they post total bullshit. I know that they can think critically and don't think that they are just stupid nor controlled directly by the companies that they work for, so what gives? Are they just really retards and I'm naive for not realizing it? How do I test this? Were there 'rules' for MOCKINGBIRD subjects?

When their entire world is built around lies, the self deception prevents rational thought. It takes an internal trauma that strikes their very core to snap them out and even then they may still maintain the facade due to consequential fear of reprisals against the innocent or loved.
