This is more of the illogical garbage from the left that has rotted ouyt your brain. A fact that is not always a fact isn't a fact. It's a lie.
And, virtually the entire mess around the Russian conspiracy was one of the biggest stinking piles of lies produced by any government anywhere in the world.
Heh.
Outright propaganda, of the intelligent sort, is generally constructed from facts, selected for effect. Add in a few lies.
Blundering through this media environment in a self righteous rage is uninformative. Since all sources (all of them, there are no saints or innocents) seek to influence you using the same techniques, there is no single source of truth. You have to evaluate information, or concede that you can know nothing.
This has always been the case, probably since the Sumerian priest kings began boasting of their victories.
“Ush, ruler of Umma, acted unspeakably.”
“He ripped out that stele (a border marker) and marched toward the plain of Lagaš.”
“Ningirsu, warrior of Enlil (a Sumerian god), at his just command, made war with Umma.”
“At Enlil’s command, he threw his great battle net over it and heaped up burial mounds for it on the plain.”
etc, from the Cone of Entemena, @2400 BC
Quite true about a “fact” that is NOT always a fact. This recalls the term invented and used as chiron scroll “update” 15 years plus ago. On CNN:
they used a presented segment with followup and accompanying chiron scroll on the screen that repeated every 15 minutes.
The term they invented (or stole) was FACTOID. A made up word which would translate from its two parts 1.) Fact- a true description or statement or definition and 2.) -OID a derivational suffix that converts a noun into an adjective. From the Greek- meaning “likeness or form (as in a comparative).
Two dictionary definitions:
factoid
făk′toid
noun
A piece of unverified or inaccurate information that is presented in the press as factual, often as part of a publicity effort, and that is then accepted as true because of frequent repetition.A brief, somewhat interesting fact.An inaccurate statement or statistic believed to be true because of broad repetition, especially if cited in the media.
The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition.
And in Merriam-Webster:
1: an invented fact believed to be true because it appears in print 2: a briefly stated and usually trivial fact
A word said to be coined by Norman Mailer(!) in his 1973 book on Marilyn Monroe: “ “facts which have no existence before appearing in a magazine or newspaper, creations which are not so much lies as a product to manipulate emotion in the Silent Majority.”
The so called Ukraine opposition and the “offensive” that is well financed but not occurring because it can NOT be launched== this is repeated across all paid media partners and imitators for clicks monetization and “trends”. All of which is a freaking LIE. For the benefit of the kickbacks to the various world armorers and profiteers, as well as the puppeteers of the Soros Open “society”” a@@holes and their globalist new world order Neo-Socialist/Marxists who closely ally themselves with the engine of cheap labor of human debris- Communist China.
Enjoy. Rinse Repeat. This sent to all the neo fakir trolls here paid to post and repost and say crap that is just not true in any fashion. Formed by carnival barkers for the globalist circus.
