It's more because, given how obscenely polarised and truthinessfull American politics has become that I'm trying to assume the real truth is somewhere back from what's being presented. Because everything these days seems to have some form of agenda and furthering that agenda rather than actually trying to report what happened. It's hard to take anything at face value anymore.
And, even if it is Government ordered. It seems to just be the done thing anyway. It's only illegal when the other guy's doing it to you. Then you get the big chair and do it right back to the other guy. 'When the President does it, it's not illegal' has been a part of US politics since long before Nixon, it seems.
Maybe I'm just too used to a government that's usually well meaning, but utterly incompetent.
