Doublethink
In school today they were reading Orwells 1984 and he coined the word doublethink which today is called cognitive dissonance. Orwell's definition is not saying the opposite of what one thinks but thinking the opposite of what is true and that better explains what is happening today. This is all led by the media with the first step being not to cover some issue which leads people to not being aware of the issue which leads to not believing the issue. For over two years the situation at the border has been deteriorating and no one seemed to care until recently when the issue became news and now people are concerned. The same thing happened with crime. No coverage so no problem but now that it is out in the open people are getting concerned. When Homeland Security head Mayorkas says the border is not open and TV shows migrants streaming across that is doublethink but no one was concerned about his misinformation until things became public. When rioters were swarming in a hundred cities the press referred to it as peaceful demonstrations and now people are seeing the results as crime is now reported. One of the most effective ways to disinform is to not inform. The latest example is the coverage of the Biden family situation. Will the public eventually be concerned if this starts getting reported. A year ago polls showed people with no interest in the Biden family activity and today the polls show 61% thing Biden is involved in his sons business. This only changed when congress started to investigate.
