    I’m sorry man but when it comes to international topics I can’t trust some faceless user on the internet for a run down of what happened.

    Do you have any sources or directions you can point me in for more information about the inconsistencies in reporting?

    (Just had a thought, we should have meta news agencies that analyze news agencies (including each other meta news agency))
