Media Mind Control Doesn’t Work Like You Think It Does.

The media isn’t good at telling people what to think. The media is good at giving a false impression of what others — the general public — think.

Philip Lowe Did Nothing Wrong.

He is a professional, university trained economist, competently implementing textbook monetary policy as widely accepted by the rest of the accredited economic community. If he’s wrong, and I am not saying he isn’t, then he’s wrong in excellent…
