During a grief counseling session for professional censors and propagandists, The Wall Street Journal’s editor-in-chief complained to the World Economic Forum’s aspiring tyrants: “If you go back really not that long ago … we owned the news.  We were the gatekeepers, and we very much owned the facts, as well.  If it was said in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, then that was a fact.”  To the great consternation of those who believe it is their noble prerogative to manipulate the public by controlling the narrative, ordinary people are now “much more questioning” about what is reported as truth.  The public’s rising discernment troubles the “ruling class.”  Perhaps that is why government schools refrain from sharpening students’ critical thinking skills these days.  Authoritarianism thrives amid hive-mind ignorance.
