Why does every thread that begins “You won’t find this being reported anywhere” end up with someone showing how it’s being reported everywhere?

You would think posters would have learned by now not to start threads with those words.

I can attest that this has been the case since I joined this forum in <wince> . . . 2004. Right-wingers often mistake “demonstrably false cliches” for “reasonable premises” or even “articles of faith.”

Surely the BBC World Service is available in the USA. If one is really interested, I would highly recommend it as a valuable news source.

One of my favorites. If you’ve got an Alexa or other listening device recording your secrets, you can just say: “Alexa, play the BBC World Service.”

You know this doesn’t matter. No evidence to the contrary ever does.

Sure they put it the paper somewhere. But did you hear of it before I posted this thread?

I bet you had to hunt for that. Did they play it to an American audience or is it just on the website?

And who did they blame?

Well, this has been one crummy, ill-informed rabbit hole of crankery and bad faith. LOL.

Rather watch CNN than BBC. Personal preference.
