    This is like that “sanewashing” thing. “What he means is this…” no. No need to do him any favors.

      But it’s not even that. He said what he meant and then the chucklefucks looking for clicks went on with the “BuT HeS oLd ToO! HuR dUr, HoW dUmB!” when it’s not the same comparison at all.

      I guess I’m just sick of all large media outlets lately.

        I’m just happy to see users calling out these bullshit articles taking shit outta context. I don’t have a ton of time to read the news. So I prefer my brief overviews of titles to be factual and contextual to what the authors implying. Which it’s the independent so already knew it was probs bs.

          But what bothers me is that even when the blatant deception is pointed out, you still have a large percentage of people here actually defending such bullshit.
