(1,486 posts)Reporters are not partisan hacks that trumpet propaganda. They tell the truth and do it without anyone knowing their emotions with in. These people have no business calling this news, completely unprofessional. Millions of people believed ever word they said. They repeated it over and over until everyone was convinced that lies were truth. They have done the worst thing possible to their viewers & listeners, they have tricked them and tricked themselves because they all believed it.
