Then they link to some mainstream media, don't bother to find out that it has also been reported by other mainstream medias and won't stop for a second to consider that if it wasn't reported by the mainstream media, they wouldn't know about it either. I mean, how many of them I should believe to be involved in the highest level of European politics and therefore have such insider info as they claim?

Kind of how Fox news will pull the underdog card one minute and say that the "mainstream media" is all "liberal biased" and then the next minute they're touting how they're the largest and most watched cable news network. It's like "doesn't that kind of, um, make
you the mainstream media....?"
