That's why you need to have your own opinion and find out about facts media don't care about or don't want you to know, instead of lazily taking a look at what journos say and assuming the opposite."Only 60% of Americans don't believe in Unicorns that fly over their houses" is hardly a good statistic. XD But you're right, baseless contrarianism isn't a good thing to practice.
I would like to say that so far the track record of these elites/insane-people is so abhorrent, that you can really just be contrarian to their points and be right every single time. As absurd as it sounds, 'predictive contrarianism'. Lmao.
