Colion Noir on Jussie Smollett

Worth six minutes of your time:

The message isn't particularly new: the media have long been shit-stirrers who want to see the public eat itself. For all their pious claims about truth, objectivity, fairness, and the speaking of truth to power, they're just a particularly vicious species of rat. Noir's bleak perspective regarding the near-impossibility of finding reliable news sources these days is well taken.

So let's bring back those old 1960s-era liberal mottos—which modern liberals have completely forgotten—of "Stick it to the Man" and "Trust No One Over 30." Authority figures, like those in government and the media, are bullshit. Older people (and yeah, at this point, I have to include myself), are also bullshit. So don't trust this blog, either.
