'Post-truth'. Now 'alternative facts'. They're still lies, and no amount of political spin or fascistic repression will ever make them anything else. My dad, when I was growing up, used to say I'd make a good politician, but before I was much beyond my mid-teens, I had to disagree with him. Because I realised I was far too honest to ever succeed in that most mendacious profession.

Well, let's hope the Fourth Estate holds these folks feet to the fire, since the new administration has literally declared war upon them.
ReplyDeleteThis would give them a chance to redeem themselves from their obsequious behavior during the run up to Bush's/Blair's Iraq debacle.

Hello Andy
DeleteYou'd hope the news media would do their job, but some of the noises from Trump and his cohorts suggest that 'freedom of the press' will be little more than nominal before long. As will many other freedoms, if the forces of reaction have their way.
