The math genius have to make up story, once again, that the flare gun contain electromagnetic pulse that would disable the PLA drone surveillance. Lying is one thing, Western media also lies, on higher level, you do selective reporting, selective memory loss. On lower level you fabricate story, but at least believable story people couldn't tell it's a fake news without checking the facts. But the TW media is on another level, they often treat their audience as retarded.
