At first glance, a reader might make the mistake of thinking that this meme is just some pro-80s silliness. To be honest, most of us here at the Facts Not Memes mobile headquarters and jiffy screen-door repair shop were kids during the 1980s, so some of the historical events depicted in this meme were a little fuzzy to us.
But after doing some professional journalism, “unnamed sourced” have confirmed to us that everything written in this meme is 100% factually correct. Zero Pinnochios at all in this one!
12 days after emerging from the hospital, Ronald Reagan flew on a giant bald eagle to the Evil Empire, knocked out Ivan Drago even though he’s a fictional character in a Rocky movie, and punched a hole in the Berlin Wall. “Sources” in the intelligence community told us all of this is true, so who are you going to believe?
Your own lying eyes, or those of us who do professional journalism with unnamed, invisible sources? That’s what we thought.
This journalism stuff is easy!
