Truth(iness) and Consequences

Michael Ledeen—everyone’s favorite tool of the global Zionist conspiracy—takes issue with a seemingly “coordinated” meme being floated by the legacy media in the wake of the Iranian “capture” of British sailors: Time Magazine talks about the Revolutionary Guards in the same misleading way as the BBC.
