Nice try knife, but Sinner's story is actually quite deceptive because it is spun as truth, while those Fox News screen captures are obviously meant as satire. How does Sinners story make a costly win sound like a cowardly loss? First it gives creedence to the fallacious claim that the US didn't really sink four Japanese carriers, then it completly omits the fact that Yamamoto retreated after his fleet's attack failed. Today's media pays that same kind of lip service to our enemies and makes the same kind of blatent omissions. They assume the role of passive observers while playing Texas Holdem with the facts: the cards are all on the table for everyone to see, but they get to pick and choose which ones they want to play. Usually they don't have to bluff to come up with the kind of news they want to report, but would anyone actually notice if they did?
