    Ok, I just don't get media. At times they're like "alleged Armstrong's lunar landing" or "some people think that the alleged Olympic Games were held in a place some people believe to exist, London" and the next moment something like astrology is treated with far less criticism, like "some people believe" as opposed to "some fucking retards allege this contrary to all evidence".

    Essentially media, because reporters are so damn stupid they fail 50% of the time to make a coherent sentence despite it being the only thing required of them, is putting absolute fiction on same level as strict facts with their overuse of conditionals and reservations. I suppose their 5 minute briefing which also serves as their 'education' for the job mentioned somewhere to be critical towards everything and every source so we get crappy reporting like this.
