if cnn confirmed it it must be true

That's not necessarily true in principle, but are you delusionally denying that their latest article is practically a rewriting of the insight that I shared over the past few days? Come on Russell, have some self-respect and don't embarrass yourself, or at least troll under a pseudonym.

Don’t take yourself so seriously my guy I was being facetious.

Got it, no worries. Sometimes it's hard to discern sarcasm from text due to the lack of intonation. Cheers!

You’ve been 10 steps ahead throughout. Appreciate your work and I’m glad they’ve been forced to vindicate what you’ve been saying

Yes, if CNN confirmed, it is gospel truth. Same with the article in Forbes. What would we do without our media trumpeting the truth all over the world?

I’m not certain if the author is being serious or facetious. I suspect the latter. Hopefully. To rely on CNN for defining anything is a fool’s errand. CNN, for the last 20 years, spouted the rubbish (really just regurgitating government press releases as news), that America was winning in Iraq and Afghanistan. CNN is averaging about three hundred thousand viewers per day in the US. That should show anyone that not many people are taking them seriously. Combine that with the fact that they hire mainly ex-CIA and ex-Pentagon mouthpieces as journalists, and that should tell you all need to know about the credibility of CNN.

Are you seriously suggesting that CNN doesn't accurately convey the US Government's stance on most international issues and especially that of the Democrats, which are presently ruling the US, or are you just being facetious? And are you also denying that their latest article curiously echoes many of the same points that I was the first person to introduce into the discourse?

I believe I clarified my thoughts on CNN in the comment. To wit: “(really just regurgitating government press releases as news)”. And, insofar as “democrats are ruling the US”... The Republican and Democratic parties are absolutely identical. There is no difference who is “ruling”. They are themselves corporations (as I’ve noted in a piece on my newsletter), and the “parties”, as it were, represent only two things. Concentrated wealth and corporate power. The meanderings of CNN, NY Times, MSNBC, et al. are not taken seriously by serious people. Nor should they be.

I differ on China's motivation. I believe China intended to emasculate Biden - and succeeded.

Besides people who forgot to bring reading material or a electronic device to the airport, who else watches CNN in the USA anymore? Yes, it serve(d) a function, but I suspect even CNN forgot what that was.

How do we even know that it was indeed a Chinese balloon? Maybe it was a balloon made in China, like everything else, but released by US military? I love a good conspiracy theories. Seeing how hard the bastards are trying to start a WW3 I am inclined to believe that indeed it was US military's work, to blame it on China. Either that, or Chinese control the wind.

China officially confirmed that it was their balloon a few days ago so there's no reason to speculate its national origin anymore:

I believe China. I have problems believing US.

Okay, then you should therefore believe that the balloon did indeed originate from China and thus isn't part of a US false flag plot to provoke World War III.

US will do ANYTHING to provoke WW3. See what they're doing in Ukraine.

Sure, but they didn't engage in a false flag balloon plot to that end like you initially suspected.
