@sibrosan Yes. Does NO ONE in this thread understand media's actual role? Media reports what they know. Often, that's just reporting what various public figures say. But those are not the organ's own assertions of truth. Like it or not, it's newsworthy what even inveterate liars say, if they're in positions of power. There are arms of media that do that, too (media analysis), but reporters only report, even if everyone knows that some person's claim is false or self-serving.
