Propaganda

We have an information packed post for you today starting with Katherine Maher, CEO of NPR (National Public Radio). She made this statement,  "...the truth is a distraction from getting things done." Now, it is understood that this is a very liberal radio station, but she makes this statement as if getting to the truth of a matter is less important than getting things done.

Does that sound a bit like propaganda to you? Here is how Webster's defines it:

The spreading of ideas, information, or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause, or a person.

Ideas, facts, or allegations spread deliberately to further one's cause or to damage an opposing cause.

Where have we seen this happening over the previous four years? I'm of the opinion that you can't fix a problem unless you know what's wrong to begin with, i.e. the truth. And here we are today, trying to get to the truth in order to begin to fix our country's problems.

Rather than reinvent the wheel, so to speak, I'll leave you with some suggested reading to get you started. We read Coffee and Covid nearly every day at the Roses to Rainbows household. This is yesterday's article.

While we are still talking truth vs. disinformation, here is an article from The Hill on the topic of the Ukraine/Russia war...why and how they got where they are today. Sadly, Trump is right on Ukraine (Well duh, of course he was.)

Until next time, take care and stay sane.
