- leesalminen 8y agoDoes it surprise you that The NY Times took something out of context and provided factually false info?
- malcolmgreaves 8y agoYes, it does.
- ProfBernardo 8y agoNope, definitely not surprised.

- qubax 8y agoNot in the least. But they are the preferred "news" provider here and get spammed 24/7.
