Thanks Pyro but nay
I agree!
You seemed to believe yesterday that the whole interview thing was Fake News. I couldn’t see why. Papers like the NYT interview senior figures in science/politics, etc routinely. Why not the head of the OPCW?
Why not indeed?
My point being, how often the most absurd items from so-called “independent” and State run mouthpieces are immediately accepted, whereas even relatively tame articles from the MSM are contemptuously discarded, out-of-hand. Unless it tends to support the poster’s view - which is entirely different of course - and not at all hypocritical. In that I am not pointing a finger at yourself.
Did I say I didn’t accept it?
I questioned the credibility of it based simply on a bit of critical thinking and went to some lengths to explain why. Was I wrong to question? Was my ‘common sense’ based opinion wrong? It just didn’t seem right .... and I questioned it. You didn’t read my comments so you couldn’t have a response to them. Virtually everything you read on this incident is questionable and does not add up. The denser the wall of silence the more reason to question. But I do that with ANYTHING I read or watch. I simply question, every time; Just how credible is this I am watching/reading? In general with MSM, the basic story is OK it is all the opinion passed off as fact that is often missed by readers and is what is used to deliberately distort the perception of readers that don’t question. As Paphitis demonstrates .... he believes you are always right and I am always wrong ..... so he follows your lead without question!
The man had obviously exceeded his brief in the interview and was quickly and publicly corrected for it. Something which I had no compunction in posting.
But he was wrong! To me it just did not seem credible from just reading the headline. Because you have preconceived ideas, you just accepted it as another statement to ‘score’ anti-Russian points without questioning its credibility. Am I wrong?
