Yes. In my days of being a fundamentalist Christian (atheist now), I read the bible cover to cover too many times to remember. Once I read it 18 times in 18 months. I also read masses of secular history books trying to establish if any of it was true. In the end, I became an atheist. Long story.

"But editorials, ads, memes, evangelists, TV shows, hit-pieces, FOX News … I mean, my god, that’s some riveting stuff." I'm not sure if I ever watched Fox News, but I sold my TV in 2005, and I haven't watched TV since. Never watched a reality show or a soap opera, etc. And I recognized fake news the moment I see it.

I am a progressive, but lordie help me if I point out that something has roots, ie.. the international press has pointed out that Biden's son is guilty... I will get eaten alive by liberals if I dare to besmirch some of their holy cows.
