Forgive me if i don’t believe everything being reported in the news..
“Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle.
General facts may indeed be collected from them, such as that Europe is now at war, that Bonaparte has been a successful warrior, that he has subjected a great portion of Europe to his will, but no details can be relied on.

He who reads nothing will still learn the great facts, and the details are all false.”
Thomas Jefferson
