One does not need permission to think for oneself or to question what the legacy "news" is vomiting. One does not need approval either - from anyone. The truth about everything - everything - is there. You just have to look, and do a bit of digging, with an open mind and a bit of common sense.
The "Fact" Checkers absolutely HATE critical thinkers. They block the truth, hide the truth, and make damn sure that you go to them for answers. Those with common sense might ask themselves....." If one side of the argument is hiding things, and forcing you to accept their narrative, while the other side is saying, 'Don't believe what I say, but take a look here and here and come to your own conclusion '..... then maybe just maybe, the 'Fact' Checkers are not really checking facts."
