1. they never were rwal journalists
2. they always were at war as perverted narcissists, except this time they are facing actual resistance. The word resistance does not beling to them.

You’re NOT journalists and haven’t been for a long time.

You’re propagandists!

Resistor:

A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element. In electronic circuits, resistors are used to reduce current flow, adjust signal levels, to divide voltages, bias active elements, and terminate transmission lines, among other uses.
