What's notable is that we now have mainstream western media effectively acknowledging that western media has been lying. Thing about material reality is that it always wins in the end. You can spin a narrative for a while, but sooner or later you have to reconcile it with what's actually happening in the world.

But of course the retraction is run on page 16 and only printed once. The eclipsing majority of libs will go to their graves thinking the Uyigurs were genocided.

It's been pretty amusing to watch libs expose themselves as being no different from QAnon in the end.

Well said
