You can blame the government AND the MSM. They're equally guilty of taking a thing and running 90 MPH in the wrong direction with it, before it's proved or known to be relevant.
The MSM especially are a bunch of knucklehead, Hollywood wannabe’s who forgot how to fact check or corroborate ANYTHING.
24/7 Face time on national TV has turned ‘jourlanists’ into the worst kind of whores.... And as for the government... well, you know what they're all about.
Since when were bureaucrats either individually or collectively accountable for anything?
