If that were true, Iraq would be the richest country in the world. All the Petangon WND lies were swallowed by all the Western Mainstream Media, hook, line, and anchor. So the nation of Iraq ended up with a million murdered, many more wounded and maimed for life, and their country destroyed for the decades to come and not even a sorry.

MSM is tribal super-biased media. Always has been. I lived through the Cold War, we all knew both sides were telling packs of lies. So the only way to get any inkling of reality was to read both sides. And to be honest, the censorship I witnessed during COVID-19 and now has been admitted to by Facebook and Twitter was far worse than during the Cold War. Because the masses didn't even suspect that they were being lied to and had willingly buried themselves in echo chambers.
