For the person who only reads the headline and maybe the first few sentences, all they ever see is the lie; especially when it’s dolled up in a new presentation with a new headline each time it’s recycled.
WADR, if I wanted to KNOCK DOWN a lie, I wouldn’t have a headline and several LEADING sentences that re-flacked the lie again. I believe I’d have a headline like this: TRUMP EX WIFE SAYS RUMOR IS A LIE! And then the lead sentence would be, “Ivana Trump saiys the rumor that Donald mistreated her sexually prior to their divorce is not true. Ivana told the press that she and Trump are the best of friends, that she wishes him well....”
But that would just be silly old me, attempting to actually KNOCK DOWN the rumor, not seemingly fluff it ip, give it a new look and try to give it new legs. Maybe some day I can get suave and sophisticated, too.
Buh-bye.
Whatever.
