One comm for state propaganda and the corporate media that repeat it, and separate, partitioned free speech zone comm for any criticism thereof?
In the second gulf war, when the State and the corporate media pushed the weapons of mass destruction narrative—which also didn’t pass the sniff test—would you have wanted any push-back on that narrative kept out of the conversation?
But, listen, let’s review the rules. Here’s how it works. The President makes decisions. He’s the decider. The press secretary announces those decisions, and you people of the press type those decisions down. Make, announce, type. Just put 'em through a spell check and go home. Get to know your family again. Make love to your wife. Write that novel you got kicking around in your head. You know, the one about the intrepid Washington reporter with the courage to stand up to the administration? You know, fiction!
We don’t have that The Guardian article posted in this community. Why are you disproving an article that required no disproving?
Media misconstrues facts, makes factually incorrect statements, and spreads biases. We already know this. This screams of picking up a piece of shit, being surprised that it’s a piece of shit, and writing an article about it. The easier solution would have been to not pick up the piece of shit.

If we’re going to get more of this content, should we have a separate community discrediting stories from large and/or state media sources?
