It’s more of a frustration than a joke, born out of posts I see on this forum and others. When people post links to sites such as OAN and Epoch Times as “proof” for their arguments, it’s difficult to take them seriously. I suggest people go to the Media Bias/Fact Check site before relying on sources.
