    I could have posted this in other threads but I felt this video was important enough to stand on it's own. Sam Harris analyzes the Capitol Riot and and the events leading up to it. He is far more even handed than anyone in the MSM and there's something for everyone in it, regardless of your political position. He finds fault with everyone involved, Trump, the Capitol rioters, media hypocrisy, Antifa/BLM rioters, etc. It's 40 minutes long but try to get through all of it, you won't be disappointed:

    I'm more cynical than Sam.

    By way of our mainstream media, as Sharyl Attkisson has pointed out in several book and all her broadcasts, we have been subjected to a steady diet of lies and propaganda for decades.

    Did it begin with Operation Mockingbird?

    When everything the American people believe is false, we will know the success of our misinformation efforts.

    So you found someone who was willing to partially blame the media, ANTIFA and BLM for what happened. So what? I'll bet you I can find someone who will tell you that earth is flat.
