that try to duplicate the CDC in terms of how they appear. And it's a scam or it's a hoax or some false news. I mean, so people are getting pretty, pretty sophisticated in terms of hiding fake news. you know, through some quote unquote legitimate, uh, through a legitimate source.

And so you have to, you have to look at sites, even when it comes like from the CDC to see like, you know, is this too good to be true? You know, is it, is it something that, uh, uh, you know, uh, I need to research at a different place.

You know what? What you just said was very interesting to me. Yeah. Because what you said was there was an assumption that what we was hearing was truth. You know, we didn't have to process it. Okay, Walter Cronkite said it, so... And that's the way it was. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Stan I really like what you were saying because there was an assumption that what we were hearing back then was true too so people could if they were smart they could also influence us by what was being said and what wasn't being said we also know that after many years have gone by that some of the things that we were told was not necessarily true I agree with that.

But no, no, no. I agree with you because there's much. But I'm just saying, though, I think that news, we didn't call it fake news because you asked that question a little bit earlier. When did we start calling it fake news? Well, we didn't call it that. We didn't call it that back then. But the reality is that we do know now that some of the things that we were told were not okay.

You know, some of that stuff. Sorry. So I think it gets back to that point of being a critical thinker. That regardless of whatever it was, I mean, there was a time where we assumed a lot of stuff. We can't assume anymore.

I don't think they were as overt. Overt, yeah. As Betty was talking, I think about this whole thing about what was the American dream? You know, I mean, we talked about, but I understood that the American dream is such the real American dream was only for a short, very, very short period of time. But we kept repeating that, well, we're looking for the American dream. We want the picket fence.
