Truthiness in action

Via Digby:

Mitchell: So here she's saying to Lester Holt that raising the debt ceiling is to take care of future money not past money, which is not factual.

Cook: It's not true, but on the other hand she's not saying anything that a lot of Republican caucus attendees or primary voters would disagree with.

Mitchell: So, politically it's fine.

Cook: Yeah, politically I think it's fine ...


No wonder we have such a lofty opinion of politicians AND the media. If enough people believe in fairy tales, why IT IS AS GOOD AS TRUE!

    It is official. Our public discourse is completely debased.

    And yet I remember these same clowns going beserk over alleged 'liar' Al Gore in 2000.

    These 'journalists' are the embodiment of American corruption.

    The journalists know that neither Republican politicians nor voters give a shit about abstract concepts like "truth".

    As Thomas Paine once said, "To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead."

    lies, lies and more lies. better a big lie than small. War is built on lies and sustained with more lies.
    War is man gone mad.
    there is a reason for lying, to evade the truth.
