Yes, quod erat demonstrandum, eh! "Really, no time" that you write is precisely my point. And precisely why we are losing.

To win, we need to deal with this; until people help the overwhelmed reader, we will lose. Even the lamestream media knows this, which is why they do the repetition thing, and from various modalities, like music, comedy, news, etc.

Would you be surprised if I agreed? Vids? I rarely watch them, really no time. Yes I get those Wow! or Breaking News and its really boring yesterday's news. I understand people are swept away thinking 'this is the big story of the year.'

I suppose in a way, we are becoming the Fourth Estate, but not fake news. That's the difference.

Jeff Childers with Coffee and Covid does a one paragraph summary, then a 2-3 paragraph overview, then the detailed article so you get to choose how much you want to read each day.

Excellent thank you. Some people do an executive summary at the start which is a good reporting procedure, and the same perhaps as a starting precis.

Long videos are tedious and not normally worth watching unless entertaining. If one is just after the truth it is merely intensely frustrating.

Agree. Mercola is the only one who puts a "At a glance" at the top of his articles, which everyone should do... incl. me

I read that RFK said that IMPRISONMENT would happen to anyone against 'climate change'. Anyone know about this?

That was taken out of context. He explained and it made sense to me

It was specifically about some people intentionally and knowingly doing dirty business practices polluting the water. They were sidestepping protective regulations. He was answering that question. and said those criminals should be jailed.
