Regarding "crying wolf": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1ab6uxg908. The walls are closing in! It's a bombshell!
Your point?
The point is, mainstream media (also known as fake news) spent the last 4 years baselessly "crying wolf" on a daily basis, completely discrediting itself in the process.
The problem however is the convenience of whatever bullshit-du-jour is on the menu just in time for the election, by an administration that's been crying wolf at every corner since before it even started.
You can't get your "leader watch" news from agencies that are so blatantly corrupt, especially when they conveniently protect the leader who's got it way worse than the one they're accusing.
That this is a discussion is mind blowing to me. Your house is on fire and half the people in it are shit-talking the firefighter.
