1. Thanks. Clearly, we need to be listening to what is going on beyond our own echo chamber at DU.

I've lived here for 24 years -- since the beginning of DU, and there's propaganda coming from our side too. It's not of the destructive type practiced by the evil I shall not name, but it's sometimes slanted to make us feel better. This is especially true of some of the most popular left wing YouTube channels that capitalize every other title word for shock value. We also need to know what's being fed to the MAGA hordes and what's behind the terribly, terribly careful parsing of words by the mainstream media.
