Sorry, but where did I personally attack you? And maybe I misunderstood why you referred to “the media” because this gets thrown around by a lot of people like conspiracy or right wing folks. And gaslighting is imo a pretty heavy term where someone intentionally tries to manipulate you into distrusting your own sense of reality. (I know that it is thrown around a lot these days, but that’s what I would associate with it). In combination feeling gaslit by “the media” sounded like you distrust the majority of media outlets and that you imply that they intentionally deceive you until you cannot tell what’s actually happening. But obviously that was just my interpretation of your statement…

I get that you didn’t mean that, so all good.
