*The iPad decided I meant FTC not FTX and fixed it for me automatically after I typed it. I didn’t even notice. I fixed it.

This is not about Balint or Gray specifically. I appreciate your response. Reddit does not typically reward contentious issues as it is designed to promote groupthink by its very voting mechanism. Just look at the voting for asking a question people don’t like.

It was a general question of, does the source matter. I think the Twitter Biden laptop thing made me think about how so much of politics in the past 2 to 3 years has been about the messenger not the message.

Not to say the Biden laptop thing was right wrong or anything but it seems lately politics has been more about how information is exposed than what the information is.

Does the fact that the LGTBQ pac was 90% financed by a crypto bro somehow diminish its message. Does the scotus leak somehow override the over turning of roe v wade. Does email being hacked by a malicious actor somehow make the content of the emails less impactful.

We live in the Information Age and are now a global community. These things are to be expected but people still act surprised.

I guess I’m more wondering out loud but thank you for engaging in good faith.
