    I’m being lied to by you

    If you put your trust in the NYT, I’ve got some Yellow Cake Uranium to sell you.

      Who said that bro? classic tactic of bad faith reactionaries everywhere: Seize on minor discrepancies, make process complaints and attack the messenger rather than assessing the core claims on the merits.

        Hardly the first instance of the NYT lying the country into a war. They’ve been pulling this shit since the sinking of the USS Maine.

        How many millions of people has this paper killed with its lies?

          NYT does not make decisions of war. Don’t be silly. You’re blaming messengers and cherry picking data to prove points you already believe. It’s not convincing

            You’re blaming messengers

            Real “Goebels did nothing wrong” energy.

            I wonder if this was Russian Facebook ads during the 2016 election, whether you’d have a different take.
