No, I don't deny that at all.

But what I'm saying is that you can't rely on Arbiter's of Truth, let alone Facebook to function as one. I know Radio Free Europe is CIA propaganda, it also has more honest converge than a lot of shit in Europe. Getting at truth requires you to dig through malicious sources, because if a malicious source can any amount of truth that supports their narrative, they'll seize it. The Nazis were habitual liars, but they weren't lying when they were pointing out the Katyn massacre. In fact, lying about it would have been detrimental to their larger narrative in that specific case.

Avoid believing narratives, but sometimes even the worst and most unreliable people will tell you the truth if it benefits them.
