Dear CCI Friends,
The miasma of toxic language continues to pollute our atmosphere. How do we make sense of the world around us if the language used to describe it is deliberately twisted and manipulated to move us in a particular direction – a direction not necessarily aligned with truth?
The only answer we can discern is this: be skeptical, think critically and question everything. Leon Vermeulen makes a succinct case:
“Democracy depends on informed citizens. When information itself becomes strategically manipulated, that foundation weakens.”

Please consider.
Sincerely,
