It is amazing how the media can control whatever it wants whenever it wants to. How do we know what to accept from them when their standards of reporting do not have editing for fallacious reasoning? Plato wrote about the big lie in his book "The Republic". In it, he describes how a society is controlled because of the leaders wanting to shepherd it's citizens as a means of thought control. The justification for lying to it's citizens is that they are not able to handle some truths. The leaders and their affiliates decided what was best for it's societal members. I cannot believe that this ancient way of societal control would still be viable, yet it appears to be so. It is my opinion that if society can't work without lying to it's citizens then the society needs to be reformed not the minds of the citizens. If something is broke then fixing it is the best alternative, not breaking everything else to fit in the broken society. The better and best nature of humanity must find its way to the top of discussions about what our society should or should not allow.
