Thanks mod, of course there is no secret police being built for use on college campuses.

You must be Russian, there is no term "yellow journalism" in English really.

I misspoke - it is not used often compared to Russian. I have read that Wikipedia page before, yet I have not heard the term used in my 20+ years in the US and people do not know what I am talking about when I use it.

But what I am alluding to is that that account signed up just to leave that Russian-sounding comment. And now it has been flagged. Russo-bot.
