Thanks for the effort but I could only find one quote on the page from Cortez, which from my perception did not state what you have attributed.
I do agree with you that government controlled news would be horrendous but I have yet to see that this is what she is proposing.
I have some concurrence that the calling people on lying should be made more effective but how?
Look at how easily the willing public is manipulated;
As an example
1/ Repeat many times that the election will be rigged.
2/ Repeat many times the election was rigged; stolen
3/ Perform a pole amongst the willing public which shows a large percentage of the public believe the election was rigged; stolen
4/ Politicians repeat talking points that because a large percentage of the public believes the election was stolen we must investigate; challenge the election results. These are accompanied by a limited number of truths = some instances of actual fraud.
5 This further involves the willing public and validates the supposed fact.
This is cyclical affirmation, a well known and practiced method of training people to conform or believe in a cause. It is a tool of many religions, cults, cons, belief systems etc.
The same could be said for the Russia debacle.
IMO
Exactly
