@slimshady76 - Re: Forget about the lonely asshat

Forget about the media.

What about the governments ? Aside from the clear-cut duality US, UK and friends = all true, China, Russia = all fake, how should we know we're dealing with fake news ? Remember those WMD of the Gulf war, we had absolute and indubitable proof but in reality they were fabricated a.k.a. fake news.

As someone used to say, government is not hiding the truth, they replace it with other truths we also need to know.
