    At this point though, that’s just noise.

    Unfortunately, the mass media is complicit in the insanity - they’ve abandoned principles, integrity, honesty and accuracy in pursuit of profit and/or the owners’ agenda, whichever might be deemed more important in a given organization.

    That’s not to say that that story is necessarily false. It’s simply that if it’s a spin that serves someone’s agenda, as this obviously is, then it will be published somewhere, entirely regardless of whether it’s true or not, so the fact that it has been published means nothing at all.

      Sorry for being picky, just wanted to point out this bit of redundancy:

      in pursuit of profit and/or the owners’ agenda

      That agenda ultimately is and always will be profit for any company even a hundredth of that size, let alone a straight up monopoly.

      Other than that, no notes 10/10
