"It's not that simple"? It's not true!

Apparently it's impossible to directly and clearly describe reality.

Americans are struggling with high costs and the #BrokenTimes decides this is the moment to have a writer buy a $160 hat ("it fit my head like an avocado fits its pit") and $770 shirt. Read the room, editors.

Apparently it's not "Gulf States," it's actually "US Military Bases" in the middle east. Is there some reason they, and you, are peddling disinformation?

Refusing to say it's a war between Iran and the US doesn't make it not a war between Iran and the US.

Unbelievable. The #BrokenTimes (again) promotes pronatalism, a cousin to eugenics, when the reason the US has a population problem is not sex but Trump and immigration.

No. The #BrokenTimes New York Times has been a subversive agent of Trump and the GOP long before the lawsuit, as Jeff Jarvis has so well chonicled over these last few years. The lawsuit is simply kabuki theater to maintain the illusion of opposition.

Journalists are in the business of choosing words and the #BrokenTimes chooses them terribly. "Windfall" is "unexpected good fortune". The correct word is "corruption".
