Daniel Dumbrill's video on USA's censorship few hours ago is such an excellent piece on critical thinking almost wiped out from the consumers of Western tabloid news media. And it is not just Americans, but Indians, Europeans, Africans, USA leaning South American countries and so many Asians that fall for this stuff hook, line and sinker.

I definitely hope the citizens of this world gain critical thinking skills back in some way possible, even if it will take a few decades. From the past couple years, in relation to COVID, something has changed in terms of transparency, both regarding what citizens believe becoming apparent, and what news media is running to keep citizens fooled.
