>>14151966Yes let's just leave the running of all things to the respectable prominent institutions that we know are trustworthy because their media tells us so. They certainly haven't been fucking up by the numbers in an escalating fashion ever since a few years post the fall of the Soviet Union.
How do you 'verify' in Trust but Verify an organization when the verifiers are part of the same team? You create mediabiasfactcheck to verify the wrong things about the verifiers. If the emperor has no clothes should the people even assign positive value to clothes-wearing?
