@tcburkej: The first time I realized the American government used propaganda to lie to the American people through the media is when I was 19 years old in Iraq and I was getting X-Rays at Camp Fallujah and my mom told me Fox News just said they closed Camp Fallujah, the place that I currently was located

As a Haitian I realized it when they said Haiti is a bad place when literally me and my cousins would go every year and sit up in our grandparents mansion. Free of gang activity, clean water, nice beaches, good food and people. Of course all places have bad areas they just want people to think all of Haiti looks like that. They do that to a lot of countries and continents not just Haiti.

my first experience with distrust for the US government was when i asked my US history teacher why communism was bad enough to kill over and i was sent to the principal for “questioning authority” which was thrown out. i wasn’t being antagonistic, i genuinely did not understand her lessons on the cold war or what communism was. i was not educated but silence.

As a Black American, the false narratives & propaganda has been clear to me since I was a child. Not invalidating your experience at all, this video just made me realize this about my own experience

Many people don’t know we lost the Vietnam war bc what is taught in schools. I didn’t know until a UK person brought it to my attention and I looked more into it. No one “pulls out” of a war when they are winning

Similar: “Yeah, we just got back from Farrah.” “Interesting. News says it isn’t occupied anymore.” “Oh, it most certainly is.”

Mine was 2004 during Iraq War. Soldiers I knew who were deployed had very different accounts of what the news was saying was happening, because they were there...

Hold on, though. Doesn’t (at least sometimes) the media pass on the lies the government provides them (and they may accept as true)? I think it’s less common for media to create the lie out of nowhere

I call it disco confirmation. It’s always important to check primary sources of information before developing an opinion.
