Yes, that would be correct.
I was in another country some years ago and had a number of journo friends. Their reporting was politically slanted but I let it slide, until we had a series of confrontational events which gained global attention.
Suddenly the stories went from merely slanted to outright exaggeration, deliberate misreporting, and ... yes ... outright lying.
I pretty much stopped hanging out with them after that.
BTW, God bless, and stay low/safe over there. There are a *lot* of us who support what you're doing, even though you're not hearing it from the media. You already knew that, since you're here at FR, but it doesn't hurt for one more of us to say it.
