- I następnie "sprzedają" tę wojnę mediom tak, jakby była ona najprawdziwsza. Gdzie są granice oszustwa, skoro w strumieniu informacji płynących z "frontów" i frontów nie ma miejsca na żadne przymrużenie oka, żadne ironie czy kpinki.
- And then they "sell" this war to the media like it was real. Where's the limit of fraud, since in the stream of information from the "fronts", and the fronts don't have anywhere for you to squint your eyes, no irony, or jokes.
