The MSM has intimated that tweets directly from the fingertips of President-Elect Trump are “fake news.”
It’s all a power play. It’s all an attempt to gain power by setting the rules of debate and controlling the vocabulary in which the debate is conducted.
It only works as long as both sides of the debate play along. And if both sides are playing along, the debate has only one side, really.
There were a lot of specifics in this article that were new to me. For instance:
“There are actually three health services in Cuba. There is one for tourists, featuring state-of-the-art equipment. There is a second for high-ranking communists, the military, approved artists and so forth. This, too, is a good system. And then there is the squalid, dirty, understaffed, massively under-equipped medical system that ordinary Cubans (the vast majority) must endure. In the third system, overworked doctors reuse latex gloves, antibiotics are scarce, and patients must “bring their own bed sheets, soap, towels, food, light bulbs — even toilet paper.”
A 2014 report from the Institute for War and Peace Reporting found that in Cuban hospitals “the floors are stained and surgeries and wards are not disinfected. Doors do not have locks and their frames are coming off. Some bathrooms have no toilets or sinks, and the water supply is erratic. Bat droppings, cockroaches, mosquitoes and mice are all in evidence.”
“Fake News” is fake news.
