I saw people liking that article on Facebook.
I'll let you guess my thoughts on the type of people that like that article, and how they would feel about themselves if they got to experience half of what Roosh has.
They want to feel better about the misery of their own lives by hating on Roosh.
I reserve my disgust more for the "journalists" whose job is is to investigate the
facts and report on the
facts, rather than copy and pasting poorly constructed opinion pieces masquerading as fact.
Most of us already know that the media is dishonest, but as QC pointed out somewhere else, when we experience events such as these where we ourselves know the full story, we begin to realise the degree of this dishonesty.
The average person is simply unaware of this. For most people, upon reading articles in respected newspapers about a "monster" such Roosh who "advocates rape," outrage isn't an unreasonable response. We all know that rape is among the worst crimes a person can commit, and anyone who is truly "pro rape" deserves to be the subject of outrage. The problem arises when a majority of people depend on the media to present them with properly investigated facts, as most people are either too lazy or lack the inclination to independently verify everything they read.
And when counter arguments are presented, these are never widely disseminated, so very few will ever be exposed to the truth.
For a long time I've been very skeptical about almost everything I've read in the mainstream news, but after recent events I can only conclude that
nothing I read is the truth.
