Because at the heart of all debates is just that. The debate. They claw back 2, 5 maybe 10 years and use the history of 10 years to say ---- these people ALWAYS do that.
When in fact the manipulation and birth of the issue at hand was more than 40 years old.
So now those new to the politics of the issue at hand now rip and shred at the tiny new issues of the argument and now the pundits say they have moral authority over something because of so and so religion and no matter what they do is ok because in their sight it is moral for them to do because nobody can see past the manipulations that was done 40 years ago and today we play along as if the manipulations never happened and call out those who bring up the truth as tin foil hatters.
So yeah. It is true. Manipulate the data feed and history and claim to be on the moral side of what ever country then you can proceed with your wars or whatever so that the manipulated data and assumptions of pundits stick to your side.
Yep.... moral my ass.
