Unfortunatley, Mark Twain’s popularized categorization of lies (lies, damned lies, and statistics”), needs updating.
2012 version should be “lies, damned lies, and MSM propaganda”.
Saw the Newtster on “Morning Joe” this morning. He had just educated Joe and Mishka on the unbelievable increase in the estimated amounts of recoverable hydrocarbon resources discovered in the USA recently, by fracking and new technology. Ohio’s estimated reserves were increased by 42 times (4200%) in just the last week, proving once again the stupidity of the current administration’s (non) energy policies.
Newt was asked (paraphrasing), “What do you think is the greatest danger to Romney’s election?”
Newt’s answer: “Liberals are better at lying than conservatives are at telling the truth.”
Newt is without a peer in pointing out the fallacy of MSM premises when interviewed.
I hope he’s giving Mitt a few lessons.
On Morning Joe; Portman took Halperin to the cleaners on issue of Obama’s getting no cooperation from Republicans. Time has a special issue promulgating the false narrative of Republican obstructionism.
Portman would make a good chief of staff. Or, maybe he could be Romney’s Carney?
