3. Perfect example of the fucking bullshit tactics the corporate media uses to promote the regime's spin on a story.

It's is always "Breaking: This Thing that benefits Trump Happened, according to two officials". It's never like "Two Unnamed Trump Admin officials claim that This Thing that benefits Trump Happened". This is purposefully done because of how the average person's mind operates when presented with information of this kind.

But then, the counter-arguments are always phrased using the latter structure, emphasizing the CLAIM part rather than the statement of fact.

Fuck CBS, and all the other transparent lapdog propagandists. Oh, and fuck JD Ross. And IQ47.
