Thanks for the link, Wuli. And for the perspective. I would hope it isn’t true but with everything going on in the world right now, one never knows for sure.

My perspective to international “journalism” is never trust anyone - especially to include something just ‘cause it “sounds right”, and always verify.

You would think the story, if verifiable, since in concerns Greece, would have original “Greek media” sources somewhere. But it doesn’t.

When you find that, an investigator/investigation then leads to the posting website itself - who are they, where do they call home, and what is their posting history.

I find using bad sources is like telling a false hood when trying to make a point. The point may actually be a good point but the argument for it using a falsehood is no better than a false cause for the point - it ruins an otherwise good argument. Why? Because the opponent can demonstrate the falsehood, and focus on it as evidence the argument is bad.

I’d like to see Erdogan’s Turkey out of NATO. I am not going to share falsehoods to make my point, just ‘cause it “sounds like” the behavior I’d expect from Erdogan.
