- EricE 5y agolol - you think the mainstream media cares one whit about reporting facts? I guess you are in the 20% that still trust them?
- raxxorrax 5y agoNo, it was preventative to hinder people to jump to false conclusions while there cannot be definite certainty about it. I do condemn this lie and believe people had a right to know that it is a possibility. But the condition for that would be that people are able to restrain themselves to not act on suspicions. This was not fully the case. But even with that they should have come clean with their suspicions and adapt them as further evidence surfaced.
