    I genuinely hate images like this. Even if it’s 100% true, you have to know the disinformation climate you’re releasing this into. Provide GPS data, provide a few seconds of harder-to-fake (for now) video, provide audio corresponding with public broadcasts, provide anything other than just a single image that could easily be either shopped, wrongly-captioned, or just out-of-context…

        I mean, I have seen them do worse things than this today let alone 10 years ago. It’s always true and will be until the entity collapses.

        THANK you. That exactly proves my point. I thought this was current (and I’m sure others did as well). I didn’t care what side you’re on, provide context!

      The fact that you are receiving down votes for advocating a level of verifiable factuality, especially in this climate as you said, is very unfortunate.
