It's not a matter of what people believe as much as who is providing the information we are expected to evaluate. In the Jimmy Dore / Glenn Greenwald interview posted by Rockstar the problem is clearly exposed. Their discussion about Chris Hayes of MSNBC says it all. The lack of self awareness that people like Hayes and all of the media stars have is stunning. These people are not journalists but corporate shills who say what they are told to say. And that is the problem. If the facts are delivered by untrustworthy people then what?
