Imagine this forum has a 'Like' button.

Now imagine I am pressing it.

But seriously, maybe not the repetitions so much, but certainly the lies, /need to be reported/ (as long as they are identified as lies, obviously. With proof). They are information, very important information. The people need to know when their leaders are lying to them, and about what.
