    What we outside fail to realize is these people live in a wholly different reality.

    I haven’t watched television with any ads in years. So when I go to a hotel and I’m lounging watching cable and seeing commercials it is jarring just what a different world it is from what I remember before. And for people who never left it, it isn’t jarring at all. It’s their normal.

    Now imagine you only watched Fox or OANN. It’s your very reality that’s twisted all askew. It’s hard to hold that against many of the MAGA crowd and speaks to just how influential misinformation campaigns can be.

      That’s the reality with my parents. They only watch FOX News. My father had claimed to have tried watching CNN (years ago before they started veering rightwards). He said he couldn’t watch their news because “they got it wrong.”

      Why did my father think CNN got the stories wrong? Because FOX News reported A and therefore my father assumed A was true. When CNN reported B, then my father didn’t question if FOX was wrong. Instead, he just assumed that FOX was right and CNN was wrong. Since CNN was wrong about the news, my father didn’t see any reason to watch them and so he stayed with FOX. People get locked in and that becomes their only source of truth.

      I try to get my news from a variety of sources. This way, no one news source could mislead me. If one source reports A, but 5 others report B, then chances are the truth is closer to B. (All other things being equal like source reliability.) Of course, my father claims that I’m brainwashed by listening to many different sources instead of just FOX News. Likely because that is what FOX told him is happening with me.

      This.

      I passed a church today with a sign saying, “The Bible is the absolute truth!” I realized that anyone who truly believes that bullshit - enough to make it a statement outside their church - is completely divorced from sanity.

      These people do not perceive reality. At all. They are locked in a deranged fantasy world in their heads. They are severely impaired and their news sources and pastors work full time to keep them mentally ill and absolutely incapable of understanding reality.

      Get yourself a Roku stick. Set it up at home and log into your streaming apps. Now any time you’re in a hotel you can just plug it into your hotel tv and bam, bye bye shitty hotel tv.

        If I have to sit in the room for long enough I’m not watching TV anyway, I’m on my laptop or steam deck. Otherwise if I’m in a hotel room I’m somewhere I’d rather be out and about doing things anyway. Besides, as much as society’s reality is skewed by the inundation of commercials, so too is mine by not experiencing it like everyone else. So I try to, from time to time. See what the other side is seeing.
