Those Who Speak Out Are Shouted Down Until They Are Proved Right
The loudest, angriest and most effectively insulting voices seek to win by volume alone, so often echoed by mainstream media
Those who speak out are shouted down until they are proved right. Again and again, and again we are made to watch, or to endure the crude, bullying tactics of the school playground. Reasoned debate and argument have long since gone over the hill into history. Now it’s just one long slanging match, in which the loudest, angriest and most effectively insulting voices seek to win by volume alone, so often echoed by mainstream media who hold reasoned voices in contempt … apparently preferring to ridicule and diminish rather than provide courteous space for those who merely have questions in need of answers. Again and again, those shouted down are, however, revealed as having been right all along.
