Dan Rather Lectures Kellyanne Conway on “Facts and Truth”
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/24/2017 4:06:35 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

From the man who brought us “fake but accurate” . . . Dan Rather is possibly the living person least entitled to pontificate about the importance of truth in journalism and politics. So naturally, Chris Matthews invited him on this evening’s Hardball to do just that. Hat tip Colleen B.

In criticizing Kellyanne Conway’s use of the term “alternative facts” to explain White House spokesman Sean Spicer’s comments while addressing the press this past Saturday, Rather said: “facts, and the truth . . . are at the very foundation of our democracy.”

It’s the old rope-a-dope. Just keep them on the ropes and they never have a chance to mount an effective offense.

Trump knows that the biggest offensive weapon the Democrats have is the DBM. Without that, Democrats have to carry the load themselves and they’ve never developed or needed to develop a strategy to carry that off. They’ve been walking around for weeks with the deer in the headlights look. All they can seem to muster up are obstructionist tactics and empty threats, which don’t play well with the public.

Eventually, they’ll all catch on and figure it out, but it may take quite a while and I have a feeling the Trump team works several moves ahead on the chess board (even though they’re all considered a bunch of idiotic rubes-LOL)

interpretation of the facts has led the lamestream media to twist everything with the goal to minimize the new administration... saying sean spicer lied when he said that this was the most viewed inauguration of all time, demonstrates this. he was telling the truth, they interpreted as a lie because attendance was lower... they are wrong and the people know it...

most people. the other marched with pussy hats on their heads.

Why wont this person just go away,

Honestly I saw Tom Brokaw during election night and he was just as bad as this phony, hard to believe they were once thought of as ‘respected journalists’ where the nation collectively turned nightly for honest news,

This is not hypocrisy. They truly believe that they are “objective” reporters. “That’s like a diseased whore lecturing a nun about chastity.” “They’ve deluded themselves for so long that the “facts” are what THEY say they are.” Delusional is precisely what the problem is. That is a mental disease.

Ah yes, winning indeed! The call of FAKE NEWS has morphed from a meme into a fact and they are stomping their feet and telling us we had better STOP!

The new alternative internet based media has become a force and the MSM can no longer propagate lies and false narratives. In fact, our most excellent Presidents use of Twitter has succeeded in discrediting these propagandists more than any of the powers that be.

Now are we going to keep our boots on their throats and refuse to let up against this most vicious of false attacks from every side? Those that tell white people to sit down and shut up???? I’m in lock, stock, and barrel and have had it with everyone’s bs, Winning for my children is my life’s mission and for the first time in my adult life* I feel like they have a chance.

What a shameless chronic liar. He once stated he was a former Marine. Truth was he got kicked-out after a short while in boot camp. Liar, liar...pants on fire!!! On the plus side, he’s quite old. You know what that means.
