Reply to comment by xxpact in Report: Truth Social ads dominated by fake merchandise, misleading users by Sargatanus

For a network named "Truth" the concentration of falsehoods and even false ads is just stunning. Do they have no self-awareness of irony and hypocrisy?

Always be wary when someone tells you that they are very much something because it's often the opposite. Just like how fox news would call themselves fair and balanced when the 24 hour news cycle was in its early days

Ah. Yes, this is like con men who say "trust me" too much, specifically because they're trying to hide the fact that they're not trustworthy.

Decades in sales and business have taught me that anyone who volunteers "I'm good for it!" is going to lift your wallet while calling you at fault. Every time.

The irony of you calling a spade a spade while showing your own bias about not being able to.

The official propaganda of the Soviet Union was promulgated by a newspaper called Pravda which translates to "Truth."

and KinoPravda was when they'd send railcars into remote areas to show films about Russian "Truth". The concept of verisimilitue is very convincing to the untrained consumer.

How many years will it take you to get the point? They've been making the same noise since 2015.
