So if flies are attracted to dead things, and black and white stripes deter flies, then I believe we’ve just explained Beetlejuice’s appearance!

but instead you had to showcase your ignorance, or alternatively you deliberately tried to inflame a controversy out of nothing.

Yes VOA, which is what is linked to, does say the source is Reuters, which I’m sure we’ve both noticed is not the WSJ that Reuters refers to in the article, which would be the primary source of this information ostensibly.

Well you know the old saying: “If you can’t trust VOA, America’s official propaganda arm, then who can you trust?”

Frankly at this point getting that wrong is a better indication of being a human than getting it right.
