@atyh The closest thing to a charitable explanation I have is that the tanks have been spotted in a very few cities (probably because they are still being deployed), and the blood has yet to spill. "If it bleeds, it leads", and it's not leading because it's not bleeding (yet).

Despite my money being on that explanation, it's still a media fuckup on a massive scale; the explanation merely replaces malice with incompetence and laziness. It's fucking damning this isn't more widely covered by legacy news.
