[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 318489, member: 35"] Again, what do you think the point of that segment was? I'll answer that. It was to try to convince Americans that Assad gassed his own people. She didn't have to say sarin. You can go back to the source, but we still only have her word that it smelled of anything. Besides, who smells something they think might be coated in poisonous gas? During the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990, George HW Bush and the mainstream media reported that Iraqi soldiers took babies out of incubators in a Kuwaiti hospital and left the babies to die. It was later revealed that this testimony came from the 15 year old daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador to the US. If people had doubted the veracity of her claims, I'm sure they too would have been written off as conspiracy theorists. More recent mainstream media failures include pushing the WMDs in Iraq lie, as well as Russia gate. Skeptics of those media blunders were written off as conspiracy theorists for not falling for such deception. Many of the people who fell for these lies are incapable of learning from history, which is why they expect us to believe mainstream reporting on Russia's invasion of Ukraine today. Fortunately for me, my memory isn't that short. As I said before, people who take mainstream reporting at face value while showing contempt for people who challenge their narrative are seriously lacking in discernment. [/QUOTE]
