I'm sorry if my complaining is getting tiresome, but where the hell do all
the bad facts come from? That was wrong from start to end.

OK, Microsoft has THE PR budget and trade rags seldom give bad reviews
about their largest advertising accounts, but this is just too much wrong.

Could you give a reference to your "facts", please, Jason? It should be
interesting to see where all this garbage comes from. You just didn't
invent it, did you?

Should disinformation as a society fenomenom be a large research area?

(Thank you Lawson for answering such stupidities!)

Before being shocked, consider what is the worst dogma:
Accepting murder of millions of people or
accepting unending torture for millions of people.
