Does Anyone Else See The Humor Here?

That reference was included with other BBC dramas including a comedy as well as various documentaries. I therefore fail [again] to see what relevance this comment has.

I am not all surprised.

Your initial remark was, in point of fact, an irrelevance.

Weren't you the one who posted a movie about the coming of age of a boy during the one of the first battles in the revolutionary war as evidence that many americans believe they beat the british without the help of the french?

Hmmm. Very interesting. I guess it depends on who's in charge of declaring what is and is not "fake news"

Good grief. You are talking about a law that criminalizes reporting the truth of what Russia is doing in Ukraine. Truth is NOT relative - as perhaps some of you have come to believe.

Correction. I posted a list of films that included April Morning.

No. I believe you miss my point. I'm not talking about what is and isn't true. I'm talking about trusting people who decide what is and isn't true.

There's no correction there. Everything I said was true.

Yes dear, of course it is. I await you starting yet another thread about me in the Padded Room.

Its not my fault you googleed a bunch of movies without doing research.

As for that last thread, you made a false claim as a means of trying to distract from backing up a statement. You lost all interest in tambour quote mining then.

A prerequisite for life. It is impossible to know first hand what is actually true or false about most things we consider we 'know' about the world.

The only real power we have in that regard is in deciding who we will trust. And in that regard many here have dropped the ball, by trusting that which has proven itself to be untrustworthy.

Many on the left now boast of trusting truth over facts. That's because their "truth" doesn't always have the facts to support it. We saw the start of this trend back with Ra^thergate when we were introduced to the concept of "fake but accurate." Facts get disregarded as "hiding the truth."

Again, here's my point. The humor here is that the left have been screaming for censorship. You've had Liz Warren pressuring Facebook to act as defacto censors. All of this is to protect people from "fake news" and "misinformation." They WANT that censorship. You yourself have defended censorship by third parties.

The right has called out the issues of censorship (while, yes, engaging in calls for it themselves).

Russia is now censoring people, using the same justification of "fake news" and "misinformation". And people, including you, recognize that this is wrong.

To me, I find this should be eye opening. Especially in light of the self-censorship of Hunters laptop, which was called disinformation, but has been shown to have been legitimate, but embarrassing for Biden.

The left and MSM revealed there that what they claim is "misinformation" is often nothing more than something that embarrasses them

Just read this article about that. Interesting, though I'm not certain all of it is true. Meaning, some of his problems may be unrelated to the laptop.
