CNN’s Abby Phillip Tries to Dunk On Covid Skeptics, Fails Badly
Part of the reason that there is a crisis of confidence in the media is because of the sense of absolute moral certitude with which they look down upon anyone who strays from the preordained consensus, even as they themselves spit out active disinformation.

With Bashar al-Assad ousted from Syria and the Syrian military in shambles, Israel took the opportunity to set back any possible hostile threat from any new government that could rise up to fill the void by striking air defense sites and weapon/equipment caches.
