In court, we are compelled to swear to tell the truth. If you lie, you commit a crime: perjury.
But few are concerned about perjury. Ask any attorney. You can fabricate all you want. Nobody much cares.
The American people, generally speaking, also don’t care about truthful press reporting. CBS News is in open rebellion. So what? “The View” is under government scrutiny. Big deal. Fox News is facing another massive voting machine lawsuit. Yawn.
We are a country that is being misled, conned, and manipulated. What else is new?
Last week, the Reuters News Agency, generally hostile to the Trump administration, released an article that said the USA launched the Iranian conflict when it didn’t have to. The piece said U.S. intelligence knew Iran wasn’t all that close to weaponizing uranium, so the attacks were unwarranted.
The Reuters headline reads: “Iran No Further from Nuclear Weapon than Before War.”
The reporting in the story is absurd. All anonymous sources. Here’s some wording:
– “According to three sources familiar with the matter.”
– “All of whom requested anonymity to discuss US intelligence.”
– “The unchanged estimates (on the nuke construction timeline) may also stem from a lack of major nuclear targets that can readily and safely be destroyed following last June’s military action, according to some analysts.
