There is no such thing as a "little bit corrupt". The attack on Johnson and others who expose the lies only confirms that it was intentional misrepresentation. Years of unfailing truth may diminish the lies. But that is only a "maybe". Each mistake will be seen as a repeat of the lying and return to the old ways... Too bad the truth had such small value in the Executive Suite A lie, once exposed makes suspect all past and future reports… There is no such thing as a “little bit corrupt”. The attack on Johnson and others who expose the lies only confirms that it was intentional misrepresentation.

A German TV show shows Green Helmet Guy actually off-loading a child’s body from an ambulance onto a stretcher and putting it back into an ambulance for the benefit of cameras:

Too bad neither the AP nor The Guardian want to face the facts: they’d both been had.
