And yet people believe it - despite there being no court cases in which the case isn't eventually thrown out - enough believe it to show up in numbers on January 6th threatening the peaceful transfer of power in our nation.

Our society's disturbing inability to think critically about what is real and what is fake is scary and it shows what can be done in a society without a free press. If that can happen here, imagine what is happening in Moscow and Pyongyang.

Bringing it back to football, I'd rather not see the lack of critical thought here on this site. This is supposed to be Commanders discussion for the knowledgeable fan. We should all be able to tell a credible report when we see it.

Well said.
