    We’ve had posts every day this week about how you can’t accurately judge an article by the article’s headline, example: passive language vs active language.

    The article is not written on the premise that Biden is moving left. The article is about how the author is scared that Biden is going to take your guns and take your free speech, and be a “climate czar” (actual quote).

    I read the article because I also expected it to be written by a liberal about Biden moving left and I wanted to familiarize myself with what narratives that liberals are going to use in the upcoming election. To my surprise, the article was not about that and everyone in this thread at the time was responding to the article as if the article was in support for Biden, including the OP.

    If we are truly to believe that the media manufacturers consent, which it does, then it is important to understand in what ways the media is manufacturing consent. It is important to understand this so that you can combat the manufactured narrative and effectively communicate that to the people who have accepted the manufactured narrative.
