I call it "The drip, drip, drip of the opium of propganda" I've learned so much the last 2.5 years. Like essentially, nothing you see is real. I began observing when a given piece of news would drop and then follow the evolution. I got good enough that I was able to predict a piece of news several days before it was announced based on a plea from some doctor at the Cleveland Clinic.

For weeks now I've been watching the all the stories about Vitamin D. Most have been negative, but often are sprinkled with positive elements. And one acknowledged that Vitamin D reduces swelling. Now this could be straight news but I doubt it. Especially since it was shown to drop the chance of an ICU stay to 4% even if already hospitalized if it's at 30,000 or 50,000, I forget which. But it's a full time job to really stay on top of. Alnd I've outsmarted myself a time or two by getting wedded to a narrative instead of simply seeking truth, or at least facts.

And my initial thought when Mitch McConnell announced Republicans might not take the Senate was thanked was providing preemptive cover for the cheating that's going to occur in November. I'm not aware of any particular concerns Republicans in Congress have about fair elections. But "We the People" are very concerned.
