    It’s not gaslighting, it’s two people talking about the news environment they experienced yesterday morning. You’re the one trying to make it awkward and accusing people of operating in bad faith. I know what I saw and you’re not going to bully me into having seen what you say was there.

      You made two major claims, in defense of the meme: all the headlines are about how scary Iran is (I demonstrated this to be incorrect), and that none of the brief stories explained why Iran retaliated (I demonstrated this to be incorrect). Your response should have been “wow, I guess I was wrong” instead of what it was (effectively) “the proof you just provided that obviously prove my claims incorrect actually is exactly what I said.” This is straight up gaslighting.

        How nice of you to put words in my mouth. I don’t need them though, I have plenty of my own. Go harass someone else.

          You responded to me first and now you’re claiming I’m harassing you? Holy shit, does the gaslighting know no depths? Lol

          But good on your for avoiding all the points. If ever you want to actually address them, feel free. I’ll be here.
