examples of why I find the Corporate Media to be laughable, well, tragic would be a better word. And have, over and over throughout the years.

So, while I have asked now several times for concrete examples of a news story from RT that was 'laughable', all I get in return is this exact comment, AGAIN.

Provide something where they got it all wrong, which you have failed to do so far.

As for people believing what they want to believe, yeah, I was told that throughout the Bush era, by Bush supporters. Guess who was 'believing what they wanted to believe'?

Your gratuitous and similar attempt at a personal attack has as much effect on me as theirs had, which is zero. I always consider WHY someone veers off the topic in the 'let me hurl a personal attack' mode, and have never, ever been wrong in my assessment of that particular tactic.
