          I remember when the Russiagate hysteria was in full swing. I got conned into believing that shit mattered and was watching several congressional hearings on C-SPAN per week. One time they had this dude Clinton Watts come in and talk about fake news and misinformation. FBI special agent, counter-terrorism guy, all over the natsec thinktank scene. He said something along the lines of "If it's in the New York Times, it's true. If it's in the Washington Post, it's true. So help us God."
