I remember that. Totally thought the whole Gary Webb thing might still blow up huge. But we also had Stealth bombers flying across the country with armed nukes and Obama needed to beat Hillary needed to beat McCain.

Man, McCain would have made such a great President.

Including Reuters? Is Reuters somehow different to other corporate media sources?

It's #2 on some random Corporate controlled media trustworthiness graphic used to try to demonise independent reporting: https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Political_spectrum#Conventional_usage ... - and definitely on Wikipedia's list of trusted sources (unlike one or two corporate sources such as the Daily Mail).

If you're into careful reading of headlines, try this: https://saidit.net/s/greatawakening/comments/ro1/i_just_read_that_the_us_govt_claims_the_right_to/ - I'm still kind of surprised that no readers seemed to get it.
