The bizarre secret behind China's spy balloon

Earlier this year America's military defenses were put on notice against a Chinese balloon believed to be on an espionage mission. Gen. Mark Milley talks about what we've learned from an examination of the balloon's wreckage.

Nobody could have predicted this. I have my doubts even when they call it “spying equipment” or whatever considering Chinese claim it was a meteorological balloon, certainly no doubt they would try to paint those tools as such.

    Here we go. This is the “retraction” they do 6 months after flooding the headlines with bullshit, this way they can say that they “correct themselves” and are therefore unbiased.

    Of course, even this headline is still implying it is a “spy balloon” so they can technically correct wrong information they put out while also knowing that 90% of their audience will never read it, but will believe them when they say they are “unbiased” for correcting themselves.

    I can’t imagine how anyone with a soul and brain could be a western journalist at this point, you must be lacking one of those two things. They’re shadier and more dishonest than lawyers.
