In court, we are compelled to swear that the truth be told. If you lie, you commit a crime: perjury.
But few are concerned about perjury. Ask any attorney. You can fabricate all you want; nobody much cares.
The American people, generally speaking, also don’t care about truthful press reporting. CBS News is in open rebellion. So what? The View is under government scrutiny. Big deal. Fox News is facing another massive voting machine lawsuit. Yawn.

We are a country that is being misled, conned, manipulated. What else is new?
Last week, the Reuters News Agency, generally hostile to the Trump Administration, released an article that said the USA launched the Iranian conflict when it didn’t have to. The piece said U.S. intelligence knew Iran wasn’t all that close to weaponizing uranium, so the attacks were unwarranted.
The Reuters headline reads: “Iran No Further from Nuclear Weapon than Before War.”
The reporting in the story is absurd. All anonymous sources. Here’s some wording:
- “According to three sources familiar with the matter.”
- “All of whom requested anonymity to discuss US intelligence.”
- “The unchanged estimates (on the nuke construction timeline) may also stem from a lack of major nuclear targets that can be readily and safely destroyed following last June’s military action, ACCORDING TO SOME ANALYSTS.
Some analysts? Who might those be? That lazy description is followed by “as far as we know,” “probably located,” and “it is possible.”
This Reuters reporting gives the word “shoddy” new meaning.
Nevertheless, it was picked up and peddled by the far left MS operation as well as NewsNation, and the Japan Times, among others. Surprisingly, the American corporate media stayed away from the journalistic malpractice even though it was apparently designed to hurt Trump.
And here’s the kicker: two days after the Reuters atrocity, The Wall Street Journal
reported the exact opposite Iran-nuke scenario.
The headline: “U.S., Israeli Strikes Set Back Iran’s Ability to Build Nuclear Weapon.”
The Journal cites a new report by the Institute for Science and International Security, quoting directly from it. No anonymous BS. The WSJ cites the scientific organization as saying six Iranian nuclear sites have been effectively bombed since the conflict began on February 28.
I guess Reuters missed ISIS’s report, the wire service being too busy tracking down those anonymous sources.
It doesn’t take Edward R. Murrow to figure out what Reuters is up to. And media falsehoods are aggressively protected by the First Amendment.
However, the giant takeaway is that “we the people” are now being routinely deceived on vital matters by an ideological and corrupt press. And many of us don’t even care.
No anonymity on that; you can quote me.
