By some estimates, as much as 50% of the information we think of as news originated from a PR company. How do you feel about tha

t statistic? Do you think most people realize this?

Answer and Explanation:

How do you feel about that statistic?

That statistic makes me feel deceived, misled. Such a high number means half of the information conveyed to us is not completely trustworthy. It is what PR companies want us to think, not real information which we can use to think for ourselves. It is quite a sad reality, and it shows we still have a long way to go before we can think of ourselves as truly free. Knowledge is the rock upon which we can build our freedom. Without it, we are easily controlled and kept chained by those in power.

Do you think most people realize this?

I do not think people realize this. If more people knew about this, there would likely be a public outcry for change and better ways to filter what truly is news and what is not. That is obviously a difficult endeavor. But, just as so many others throughout history, it is worth fighting for.
