IN THE MATRIX

I have never read a truer thing about the MSM and the state of our society today- From American Thinker (via What Bubba Knows):

...how can people make correct decisions regarding what policies and politicians to support if they aren't given correct information? Why would they defend the good if they were lead to believe it was bad and fight the bad if they were lead to believe it was good?
...
It's much like when the Morpheus character in the movie The Matrix said that no one could be told what the Matrix is, that you have to see it for yourself. Our matrix media (along with academia and the popular culture) has constructed an all-encompassing faux reality that cannot truly be understood unless you step outside of it. For the average person this means, first, being willing to question all his basic suppositions about political and social reality, as these have been shaped by the matrix media. The second requirement is to embark upon a Reality 101 course on the Internet, where the wheat can at least be found amidst the chaff. You see, unlike the movie, our virtual world is in a way more real than the "real" world.

If this sounds dark and conspiratorial, know that it is the former but not the latter. In truth, what is so dangerous about the matrix media isn't so much that they're akin to a cabal of calculating sentient programs but that they cannot think outside the box themselves. They are like an insane man who knows nothing of the world beyond his insane asylum and thus can relate only insanity. You might say they have become one with their mistaken notions. Call it, The Zen of Being Wrong.

I know this to be true. When I was lost in that matrix, my belief in its solidity was air-TIGHT. There was no WAY anyone could convince me otherwise. As Ive said before, there were some people and books that shook the walls a little but it took 9-11 to crack them and begin to live in the world as it is. This is why it is pointless to argue with confirmed Fundamentalist Liberals. You can not reason with the insane. You just can't. Did the zombies stop looking for brains when their victims yelled at them to stop in Dawn of the Dead? No. They didn't. And the reason why is, that they're ZOMBIES.
