It is sort of amazing that the post hurricane rescue effort in the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, and (?) should be the biggest news story in the country, especially if FEMA is doing such a poor job. I feel as if I can no longer trust the news media about anything. It used to be you couldn’t trust them about anything political, but now it seems like you just can’t trust them, period.

You shouldn’t trust anything on the internet, but I believe the account of the helicopter pilot who says he was interfered with while trying to save people, and I believe Musk when he says the Feds were preventing him from trying to help out.

It seems like we as a nation have drifted / pushed? / steered? into a situation where we can’t distinguish between truth and fantasy, or for that matter, right or wrong. - where it is impossible to make correct decisions, or have effective agency.

We hear a lot about Asheville, and maybe hundreds of deaths, but everything else is sort of vague. This “misinformation / disinformation” crap needs to stop.
