Holding fast to
dangerous thoughts
passing truth through
news that’s ersatz -
twisted by quacks
into fake facts
one side then lied

So true! We have to be vigilant in what we believe in. Thank you for following Eugi’s Causerie.

Be vigilant, but don’t set your filters too tightly. Thanks, Eugenia. I’ve seen many posts from your prompts and thought I would check it out. I’m glad it’s more than just prompts. 🙂

Well said, although these days it seems as though it is no longer Truth versus lies but rather lies versus lies. You end up picking a side not so much because you believe them as because their lies cause the least damage.
