Once you see a news entity outright lie,exaggerate or fictionalize a story,you can never trust them again.Mistakes happen,but intentional propaganda creates a loss of trust,which I have zero of with nbc,cbs or abc.

Now did the FDA say lab grown chicken was safe? Or did they say it was SAFE AND EFFECTIVE? Just want to know if meat grown with immortalized cells (cancer cells are also immortal) are really EFFECTIVE err--I meant SAFE. Well, like the fake vaccine, you can try it and let us know in 10 years.

How can you know what misinformation is if you cannot hear it in the first place?
