Facts sadly don't trump fantasy in the US
This article is a superb illustration of the divide in the West currently between realism and fantasy. The vast bulk of us are so conditioned by the never-ending propaganda, to which we are subjected by a mainstream media that reflects quite clearly the propensities referred to by Orwell in that unpublished preface to Animal Farm, that we simply don’t recognise the reality that faces us all.
A diminishing number of us prefer to face reality and dispense with the fantasy. This article is a brilliant summary of that reality!
