What is the function of the major news media corporations? Too often, it's not to tell us what is happening. Rather, it's to tell us what to think. Here's a recent case discussed by Aaron Mate and Katie Halper on Useful Idiots.

Consider the shocking fact that 65 percent of American fourth-grade kids can barely read. American Public Media’s Emily Hanford uncovers this sad truth with her podcast, Sold a Story. She investigates the influential education authors who have promoted a bunk idea and a flawed method for teaching reading to American kids. She exposes how educators across the country came to believe in a system that didn’t work, and are now reckoning with the consequences: Children harmed. Tons of money wasted. An education system upended.
Ideology was allowed lead the way in the classroom. Teaching "experts" have been experimenting with our kids using the "whole language" approach, prohibiting the tried and true method of phonics, a method that teaches children how to sound out their words. Many teachers were forced to use this unproven method and this hurt millions of children. For the full story, listen to this podcast featuring the reporting of Emily Hanford.
Unarmed, the Germans entered the cabin – only to see the Americans reach for their own guns. The Germans couldn’t have helped but think they were set-up. Fritz’s mother defused the situation and placed her hands on the Americans’ guns. Tensions remained, however, with a young family caught in the middle of sworn enemies only feet from the other. Things calmed down after one of the German soldiers asked, in English, about the injuries to the American. It was a deep cut that caused severe loss of blood but he would recover.
Dinner was ready to be served. They all held hands – the Americans, the Germans, the German civilians – and Fritz’s mother offered a prayer, asking for “an end to this terrible war, so that we can all go home where we belong. Amen.”
