Thanks for that post.
I managed a large retail business during The 0bamanation. It was hell on earth trying to KEEP good employees while 0bamacare was screwing with us all.
This is a great piece. I cannot believe the beat down the Enemy Media gives President Trump every. single. day.
They. Are. Evil.
As I recall, the MSM embraced Bill Clinton’s numerous lies. Not only did they not call him out for lying, they acted thrilled by his lies, delighted that he pulled another layer of wool over the citizens’ eyes.
And then when Bush was elected, they took things they did not like, regardless of evidence, and pronounced them as lies. I remember the trope “Bush lied, people died” being made popular when there was not a single verifiable lie to warrant such a trope.
The MSM’s behavior here is nothing new. I think it becomes more comprehensible if one considers that what the MSM brands a lie is actually anything that does not fit their agenda and narrative. If the truth does not advance the narrative, it is a lie. If a demonstrable lie advances the agenda, it is the truth. If they tell a lie about a conservative politician and the politician refuses to verify the lie, the politician becomes a liar. It is on this basis that they call Trump a liar.
If that worthless rag NYT wanted to be “fair” and maybe even balanced they’d run a list of Obama’s or even Clinton’s lies. Of course, I can understand them not wanting to devote an entire Sunday-edution sized run to each - that’s a lot of paper and ink, even if they only hit the highlights.
They’re running a story today about how Trump lied when he claimed a return to 3% GDP growth when in fact there were peaks of GDP growth as high as 3.8% under Obama.
In fact, here’s what Trump actually said:
“we just announced that we hit 3 percent in GDP. It just came out. And on a yearly basis, as you know, the last administration, during an eight-year period, never hit 3 percent. So we’re really on our way.”
True, he can’t point to annual growth of 3% yet either, but what he said is accurate and truthful. The AP, WaPo, NYT and the rest selectively edit and pick words and phrases to support the phony narrative they have constructed.
That’s called propaganda.
Obama’s lies had significant consequences in cover actions NYT causes fib-o-meter to go up in smoke rest of media fallows.
