13. Kill the Messenger to shut down discussion is really annoying.

As if the above Malcolm Nance quote turns into right-wing fake news depending on who retweets it. That's just stupid! Yet people try trolling this way all the time.

At least we don't have to hear every five minutes about Jeff Bezos personally oligarching every single article in The Washington Post and how everything's a corrupt corporate media industrial conglomerate complex so don't read or watch anything, just get emotional and mad at capitalism or whatever the game was. That was very popular for awhile.

People should just read the damn words, or listen, and discuss what the author says instead of obsessing about purity tests or that they heard the person yelled at a puppy once. That would require thought, though.
