The media has been passing off statement from politicians as news and fact without questioning it for years now. I welcome if they stop it, at last. -- nm - ty97 May 5, 09:45 8

  - unfortunately, this in not always the case. -- nm - znufrii May 5, 09:51
- exactly my point. -- nm - znufrii May 5, 09:46
