The world isn't black and white, though. Saying it is amounts to--ironically--an endorsement of fascism. Fascists have no sense of nuance. No sense of scale or depth. To say "everything is corrupt if involved with money" is to conflate the associated press with Newsmax or Fox. It's facile.

Let's be clear that fact-checking autocratic fascists doesn't disqualify one from being "independent." That, I presume, is the whole point of your user name, isn't it?
