This post is obviously still full of people who swallow the propaganda but there’s a surprising amount of comments calling it out, and I’m noticing that as a trend across posts. Link to the post

    Am I the only person that find the American trust in media INSANE: "Ok, we lied about Vietnam! But Yugoslavia is serious!!"

    "Ok, we lied about Yugoslavia. But Iraq is SERIOUS!!!"

    "Ok, we lied about Iraq. But LIBYA?!?!?!! THAT'S SERIOUS!"

    "Ok, big L in Libya kinda lied! But Syria, now this is the truth that Assad is lethal!!"

    "Ok, massive lies about Libya, Syria and Iraq. But. Guys seriously trust us on this Uighur thing?!?!?"

      No, we all see it’s insane. Parenti on Yugoslavia is what really sent me down the path of being a leftist

        Yugoslavia and Libya are the two key reasons why Hilary Clinton will always be one of the my time-machine-kills. The audacity of the Liberal media to label a woman that created open-air slave markets a "FEMINIST" is disgusting. This woman took Libya from a place where the women were they most educated in Africa to the most enslaved.

          SAME. Fucking witch deserves to see justice by the people she has wronged and ruined, but no justice will ever give back to these people the futures she has stolen

      A lot of the people who still trust american media don't believe they lied about any of that stuff. They think the media simply went of the information they got but got it wrong. They're the people who think the US government invaded Iraq, didn't find WMDs, and just said aw shucks we really thought they were here, our bad! They don't realize they're being lied to.
