If the mainstream media gets it wrong about the Russian bots...

Somebody who has recently been called a Russian bot by the mainstream media, namely Maram Susli, a.k.a. the "Syrian Girl", a.k.a. @Partisangirl, put it well. If the mainstream media gets it wrong about her and the other real people who it has dismissed and ultimately dehumanized as Russian bots, why should we trust the mainstream media about anything?

Beyond the media, why would we trust the British intelligence?

And that is a real question. What I mean is this. What about this latest news with regard to the Skripal poisoning? You know, the headline goes: Cops identify ‘former KGB assassin, 54, trained in martial arts and with law degree as prime suspect in Salisbury poisonings’.

Wow, that is a lot of detail. However, it is telling that this news appeared in The Sun:

Instead, the New York Times quoted The Daily Telegraph. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/20/world/europe/britain-russia-skripal-attack.html

Is this what they call post-truth society?
