Most ‘Muricans I know get their “news” almost exclusively from the Idiot Box. All of it, if it concerns anything of any importance, is nothing but lies. For instance, the official story of Hamas’s retaliation against the Israeli invaders was nothing but BS. No babies were beheaded or killed, though I’m sure Fox”News” and “News”Max will continue to repeat the lies, interspersed with the word “antisemitism.”
The official story is always dead wrong and is frequently the opposite of what happened. Just keep that in mind if, say, I don’t know, some yankee stormtrooper nutcase and windup toy allegedly shoots up a bowling alley full of Maine-iacs.
