I do not believe that the media is, on the whole, dishonest

Since that is an argument that will never penetrate the defenses of the dumbfuckosphere, there is no point in engaging much.

I think the media is actually run by men and women who try to get to the truth. There are plenty of exceptions...but in general, the professionals do not suppress stories.

So this is all garbage. Maybe mistakes were made, I dunno, but there was no conspiracy.
