Steve; The wikipedia article about Pravda has a nice quote
As the names of the main communist newspaper and the main Soviet newspaper, > *Pravda* and *Izvestia*, meant "the truth" and "the news" respectively, a > popular saying was "there's no news in Pravda and no truth in Izvestia". Which I think leads to the inevitable modern US version : "There is no truth on Truth Social and no news on Fox News". _ Cody Smith _ [email protected] On Tue, Sep 8, 2026 at 7:46 PM Steve Smith <[email protected]> wrote: > CodyS - > > Oh sorry.
