That's a good question. I think at the top of the list is they don't believe this due to their "trusted" media outlets pushing the narrative that this is all fake. When "real" news shows up in an unlikely spot, like the "right-wing" news outlets finally reporting on legalized teen prostitution in Cali, they think that's "fake". I had to argue and argue with them until finding a source they considered legitimate. After I posted it, guess what? Not a peep out of them. No, going off and saying, "Why isn't the news reporting this? Why didn't I know?" Just silence as in disbelief. Then the processing and rationalization that really it isn't legalizing it, it's decriminalizing it. That's what making it legal is -- decriminalizing it! They are deluded.
I can't understand that even with the skepticism of MSM blackout, which I also have found to be a big obstacle for credibility, the seriousness of the crimes would not compel ppl to at least look into it. The images are so condemning, how can they be dismissed? Even if it is distasteful to think about or discuss, we are talking about CHILDREN. Just don't get it.
I guess I do get it. The news is our authority. I was used to reading things in the NYT and WaPo. I felt I could trust them. So if a story isn't in them, or if they're spinning propaganda, I didn't realize it. But I agree, seeing those images, I decided to think for myself. No way any adult in their right mind would post those things. I have a dark sense of humor as do my friends and we never ... never would joke about the things JA and his friends did. Only someone with a very sick mind ... or an agenda ... would. Shame on JA. No amount of money is worth it.
