Again - I cant disagree with your thoughtful musings. And its not like we don't have our own kind of round the clock news channels and people reacting on social media... It just that round here you simply cannot get away with these outright lies that your media seem to revel in. If politicians or other bloviators tried, they would get hammered with facts pretty much the next day. Is your entire media circus so strapped for money that they have lost all journalistic integrity ? Why don't you support the truthful media instead of those moronic media that keeps feeding you lies ? Don't your schools teach any kind of critical thinking, how to analyze ads and how to check sources ? (They do here...)
