I'm with you. There is zero reason to believe anything you read from a news article. no intergrity, no research, nothing. sometimes they don't even check their spelling errorsIt's probably fake, most modern journalists don't have a journalistic integrity. These are the fucks who consistently lie about the state of the economy and Covid seem like literal airborne AIDS. I doubt whatever hack/diverity hire even has more than a couple whatsapp voicenotes as "sources".
Or it's true and the Taliban lads don't want the details of their 'Man love Thursday' sessions leaking - Afghanis can be viciously gay, almost to an absurd degree
