Who cares in whose interest she works if all her stories are propaganda designed to support a leftist movement and misrepresent the feelings of her "people?" Why would people support a leader that will lie to the populace in order to do what she thinks is best for that same populace? I believe that's what we have in the US right now, and I don't think it's going too well. Just becuase a leader supports a position people think is good doesn't justify lying about it; honestly, if the situation were reversed and the intentions weren't deemed so pure would it be acceptable, or would we consider it outrageous?

Es un acto de rebeldía ancestral en sí misma...poco importa si hace gobierno o no. Ya de por sí es un evento.
