How do you know you\u2019re being lied to?How do you know you\u2019re being manipulated? How do you know there\u2019s something not right with the coverage? When they simplify it all and there\u2019s no gray. There\u2019s no gray. It\u2019s all one way. Well, life isn\u2019t like that. If it doesn\u2019t match real life, it\u2019s probably not \u2014 there\u2019s something wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Turning to media coverage of former President Trump, Logan noted, \u201cThat\u2019s distortion of the way things go in real life, because although the media has historically always been left-leaning, we\u2019ve abandoned our pretense, or at least the effort, to be objective today. \u2026 We\u2019ve become political activists, and some could argue propagandists\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe problem is the weight of all these organizations on one side of the political spectrum,\u201d she continued. \u201cWhen you turn on your computer, or you walk past the TV, or you see a newspaper headline in the grocery store, if they\u2019re all saying the same thing, the weight of that convinces you that it\u2019s true. You don\u2019t question it, because everyone is saying it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
