This is what happens when there is no trustworthy major "news" source.

It is impossible to know if this story is true, partially true, has a few true elements, or is completely false.

When you are living in a nation where the narratives are fed to you, and you know many are false, this may, or may not, be true.

Exactly. Once we realize that the MSM has become our PRAVDA, then no one really knows what is true and not true. A firefight at a server farm in Germany between the CIA and U.S. military? This is spy novel stuff, but so is hundreds of thousands of counterfeit ballots printed in China snuck into the country to steal a presidential election.

No rumor is true until it has been officially denied.

Yes, that is precisely where we are today. That's true about Covid, the election and world events. There is no believable or reliable source of information.

You are correct.
That is one reason why I love FR.

Even the made up stories in the MSM have a small nugget of truth hidden somewhere.

The gateway pundit stories have a small nugget of truth hidden somewhere.

All these other sources have small nuggets of truth hidden somewhere.

It is up to us to find the nuggets and put them together, then we have the true story.

And the left loves the waters muddied as thickly as possible.

Exactly right. The entire Big Press and Big Media beast went Full Pravda years ago. It has become impossible to know what is true.
