Do “facts” exist anymore? Or are we all living in alternative realities, where we everyone has their own set of facts?
It sounds silly, but it’s all too real.
Just days after President Trump moved into the White House in 2017, top aide Kellyanne Conway kicked off the whole game. During a “Meet the Press” appearance, she was asked about the size of the crowd at the inauguration — yes, that was an actual news story — and she said then-press secretary Sean Spicer “gave alternative facts” to dispute claims that there was a paltry crowd.
In a fantastic twist you couldn’t have made up, “journalist” Dan Rather blasted Conway (yes, the guy who used “alternative facts” when he claimed former President George W. Bush never served in the Texas Air National Guard and got booted from his CBS News anchor chair).

And alternative realities
ReplyDeleteThis article is too funny. An attempt to sound informed, but the author is simply a pot calling the kettle black. Example: sorry buddy, AOC may be a loud mouth, but her comments on diseases being released with melting is backed by science fact.
ReplyDeleteBiden has been recorded saying "Truth is more important than facts" during one of his campaign speeches. Now that says one of two things neither of which is too good:
ReplyDelete1. Biden's truth is more important than facts.
2. Biden is a buffoon.
Actually its probably 1 and 2.
1107 anyone entering into this conversation that doesn't call out Trump well before anyone else is either a hypocrit or a fool. You pick.
