Propagandists are now going to tell you to ignore what you're hearing and seeing. Just put the news away and relax! The same people spent the last four years telling you to be outraged about things that never happened. A man won the women's boxing at the olympics! Outrage!

I don't think it's true that Scientific American spent the last four years telling you to be outraged about things that never happened.
