What Chuck Schumer is revealing out in the open
Jon Rappoport Blog ^ | April 26. 2017 | Jon Rappoport

Senator Chuck Schumer on MSNBC (via ZeroHedge): “We’re no longer fact-based. The founding fathers created a country based on fact. We don’t have a fact base. If Breitbart News and the New York Times are regarded with equal credibility, you worry about this democracy.”

First of all, in Schumer’s opening sentence, who is this “we”? There is an implication that the “we” is somehow monolithic and centralized. But people have been in disagreement about facts and what they mean since the dawn of time. People have rejected centralized sources of facts, from kings and queens and priests, to newspapers and television news.

In the same way that 99% of economists assume society must be planned and centralized, Schumer and “the people in power” assume media must operate as a centralized force—as if it’s a natural law.

They just assume it, because until recently, it was the case, it was cozy and easy. But not now. And they’re angry and shocked. They see their foundation of propaganda and mind control slipping away.

You must appreciate how secure they used to feel. It was a cake walk, a picnic in the park. The definition of “fact” was: whatever centralized media said it was. What could be simpler? And to them, that was “democracy.”

I agree with Chucky SchmucKY except it is the NY Times that has a credibility problem.

Schumer lived in a DC “frat house” with Durbin, Panetta, and others.

His protege is Anthony Weiner.

I worry when our Government officials think we have a democracy!

Yes it bears repeating, that we are a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC.

We are not, and never have been, a democracy.

Fair enough, especially without that over-rated formal training.

True story.

Facts are by definition true. Schemer and his progressives haven't been dealing in facts for some time. Polemics are something else entirely. po·lem·ic pəˈlemik/ noun plural noun: polemics a strong verbal or written attack on someone or something. "his polemic against the cultural relativism of the sixties" synonyms: diatribe, invective, rant, tirade, broadside, attack, harangue, condemnation, criticism, stricture, admonition, rebuke; More the art or practice of engaging in controversial debate or dispute. noun: polemics "the history of science has become embroiled in religious polemics"

Who can seriously dispute that? How brain dead does anyone have to be to look at the NYT as if that paper had anything to offer in ANY serious discussion?
