    That is a huge issue today… American state media and Iran state media are basically guaranteed to be lying.

    If you add the complete capitulation of journalism in general, there is not a single source of information that can actually be trusted.

    I guess we MAY see what actually happened based on what reality displays

        All they can do is say “this is what the two liars are saying, we don’t know what will happen”

        Not really… that is exactly what I meant about the capitulation of journalism. Sure they can say something like “Trump claims the sky is green; however, multiple observations, expert testimony and reality immediately confirms this claim to be false”… instead, they just quote the lie and move on.

        I get that they cannot really confirm everything, but they are not even trying anymore. There is no questioning, there is no challenge… they just echo what is posted on Tweets or whatever other garbage platform and call themselves journalists

        At the VERY LEAST, they should always add the disclaimer that no evidence was provided whenever parroting a known liar

        They could report what’s happening on the ground first, and statements second.
