@unfinishedsymphony I will take some time to look into these claims, and the severity of them to satisfy my curiosity.
But I don't think anyone should take mintpressnews.com seriously as a source. That news site, such as it is, has obvious and serious issues with its own biases. A quick web search will turn up plenty.
@j15r I'm glad you are willing to have an open mind. I do indeed take mintpressnews seriously. Anti imperialist outlets like MPN and the Grayzone are routinely disparaged by the capitalist media with fact-free hit pieces, of which you will find plenty with a "quick web search". So to convince me not to take them seriously you would have to show me some specific, well-documented rebuttals of their journalism.
