It’s the Press’ Job to Ask for Evidence That Justifies a War
George W. Bush famously mangled an old proverb, by saying: “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me, you can’t get fooled again.” With apologies to Dubya (and The Who), the Associated Press’s Matt Lee is determined he won’t get fooled again.
During a Thursday press briefing, Lee grilled State Department spokesman Ned Price over U.S. intelligence assertions that Russia is planning a false-flag operation as “a fake pretext to initiate and potentially justify military aggression against Ukraine.”
Responding to the assertion that Russia is developing a propaganda video with “crisis actors pretending to be mourners,” Lee jibed, “This is like Alex Jones territory you’re getting into now.”
