Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina is hitting back at the Washington Post for claiming in a fact-check that her oft repeated secretary-to-CEO story is a gross oversimplification of the true facts of her career. "Really outrageous display of liberal media bias today," Fiorina spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores told the Washington Examiner's media desk. Asked how the 2016 GOP candidate responded to the Post article, Flores added, "When I told [Fiorina] about it, she laughed for about five seconds." The Post's fact-checker, Michelle Ye Hee Lee, maintained that Fiorina's supposed "rags-to-riches" narrative downplays the reality of the businesswoman's allegedly privileged life, and glosses over details of how her education and family connections put her on the "fast track" to senior management at both Lucent and Hewlett-Packard. For this, the Post awarded Fiorina three "Pinocchios," just one shy of a full flunking grade, for telling people she rose from secretary to CEO.

Even the very recognizable company logo was changed to meaningless shape.

The same thing happened at that organization. The 'logo' was changed from a stylish font, which had been in use for 100 years and was EMBEDDED IN CEMENT out front to a TIMES ROMAN font. They had to destroy the old sign and had to have all paperwork destroyed and new stuff printed up. I think the 'genius' who came up with the new logo was paid $200,000.
