It has become fashionable to call lies by some euphemistic name.

Memos reveal that Republicans are fond of pretending to confuse metaphors for reality. They are now seeking secret Dem ‘salt mine’ and ‘watering hole,’ believed to be fronts for planned insurrection of armed bears.

The only reason ‘fake’ news is successful is that too many gullible people want to believe it!

There is money to be made by being outrageous. Fox news and many right wing radio stations have figured this out. Each trying to outdo each other to get those ratings.

The best part is, when the media tries to report fake news, the ones who believe fake news have been brainwashed that the media is the “fake news”. With a president who pushes forth conspiracy theories fake news is here to stay, until it starts to benefit the Democrats. Then the right will suddenly have a thirst for the truth.

Alex Jones host of infowars has promoted the lie that the Sandy Hook School shootings were only a hoax. Trump has praised this despicable stain of a man.

…and Flynn the younger, son of Trump’s cabinet appointment, who promoted the emails of “Pizzagate”. Trump fired Michael Flynn Jr. from his transition team, but was getting him security clearance before that event.

So how is this President-elect doing on his ability to “vet” individuals at the highest level of government?

Trump’s lying minions were spreading fake news at the same time Trump said the media was full of liars. Trump is out to destroy democracy and the free press.

Oh, so in other words: main stream media! The media seldom lie and rarely tell the truth.

No, they would have written it the same because they were targets of fake news stories themselves – particularly Jefferson, but even Washington.

The Joe Biden 2020 campaign is fake, right?

Never let the facts get in the way of a good story.
