They call it journalism. BTW, are there any pictures of American USAID employees cleaning Agent Orange ? I'm asking because, AFAIK, USAID was the 5th column of the American empire responsible with propaganda and regime changes (and taking into acount some recent events, they don't seem to be affected by cuts).


Trump is a disaster for the world.
