I don't know if that makes sense, but I know that propaganda and fake news are alarmingly prevalent today and the government has been known to distract its citizens from their evil deeds. Is there a website that lets users know what they should look out for? For example, what should we really be focused on while Ukraine is at war with Russia? Is President Biden building UFOs while we watch the war progress?
