Is it only me, or does it not seem like the official line of reasoning whenever it becomes apparent that the government or media are working diametrically against the interests of the population, is that those involved were stupid/incompetent, not actively criminal and malevolent in their behavior.
Thanks, Russell. Can I offer - we seem to have an inbuilt bias to choose the easiest option for ourselves. Also, we are taught to believe in the power-hierarchy whereby we look up to deify but look down to vilify and, lastly, as you previously showed, we are of the herd and few of us like to deviate from the accepted wisdom. Lastly, few of us can get down low enough to see eye to eye with the 'elite.'
