Given the extreme bias of Reuters and Associated Press (AP)...just how can you say it was ..."just facts"?
Somebody typed what appeared on the Telex. that person was most likely a biased left leaning liberal.
They didn't stay in power for forty years by accident you know...
This was a long time ago and those news alerts I remember were not left leaning back then. The reporters took those news alerts and slanted them for the papers when they wrote their articles. I grew up in a very conservative and politically active family, so my father would have pointed out the leftist views. I don't remember him doing that.
