and political guiding persons, PACs, and all the other slimy people trying to provide lies to America.
-
They just want you to tune in and spend some time while they ply you with propaganda.
-
And one can often spot a bait and switch, or an out and out propaganda... when they talk about things OTHER THAN WHAT THEY CLAIMED THEY WOULD.
-
Things that seem related, and possibly are, but they talk about things OTHER THAN WHAT THEY CLAIMED THEY WOULD.
-
These things that are shown on page are ok..... but not what is claimed by title. Maybe just cherry picked a sentence out of an entire article ... and then provides other information. I think it's an advertising and marketing gimmick. Just like the National Enquirer and such headlines. Should be beneath whatever dignity this site has. I am a bit ashamed such tactics are used here. Even if in a good cause.
