    Why would you assume the facts reported by the media wing of the government funding one of the sides being reported on is accurate?

      fact checking is too easy and ubiquitous to think you can just lie about the facts, so innuendo and framing are the really pernicious aspects of modern propaganda thats framed as news. so, no, I don’t think it’s necessary to wait.

        Wow. Just sit in that for a little bit.
