It's ironic because there are so many elements of religion within the progressive ideology. Sometimes it is almost cult like.

That's one of the few things you've posted I agree with 100%.

I still remember being at Hooters Restaurant at Aloha Tower Market Place many years ago, when Bill Clinton's Lewinsky scandal broke.  I forgot what brought the subject up -- maybe a news blurb was playing on the TV -- and I asked our waitress what she thought about the scandal.

She repeated almost verbatim what the MSM stations and papers were running:  "It's just sex.  Anyone else would have lied about it, too."

No matter what I thought about the scandal, the thing that struck me was how perfectly she parroted the answer.  She didn't want to go into the details of him being the Top Official in the US lying under oath to the FBI, and then quibbling over the definition of "sex" -- "it depends on what the definition of 'is' is."

I doubt she'd even been told about all of that, and even if she had been, she'd formed, or memorized, her opinion.

Yes, it's a cult.  People on "Team Liberal-Socialist-Progressive-Leftist-Democrat" get their talking points and conclusions from the "news", and that's all they need.  Why delve deeper when the people you trust already gave you the bottom line?

This is not just a Leftist problem, but it sure does seem like they have a larger population of misinformed Lemmings than other political factions.

There are still Democrats who haven't heard a thing about Hunter's laptop, because their media sources are still refusing to report on it.

This is exactly why I started the Media Lies thread. Anytime someone wants to trust what they hear from the MSM, just pint them to that thread. With so many examples of lies, deceit and lack of reporting in order to form opinions, I am surprised that we still have people here on this forum that gets their news and opinions from the MSM. And it’s not like they lie and then retract what they say. They lie and then they lie on top of that lie and continue to push whatever their narrative is even if it’s a lie. Lot’s of great examples in that thread.

I mean, would you expect a Hooters waitress to respond any differently?  Sterotyping, but I'm sure they have their share of homewreckers working.

Basically it came down to Training Day. "The news is 99% bullshit, but I watch it because it entertains me."

But now it doesn't. So if I see it on the main media, it's probably BS or they're leaving something important out. So look for what they're not reporting. Semi Tin Foil.
