There are TWO KINDS of 'fake news'



One, is from the media, and it very rarely happens. When it does, and can shown to be fake or false, those who screwed up are held responsible and fired, just like the CNN people, this week, Brian Williams, the Rolling Stone reporter and the White House guy who said Trump had replaced a statue. All mistakes were recognized, apologies given and heads rolled.
Then we have the SECOND kind of 'fake news' that is constantly given by the White House 'propaganda catapulters' and the Liar in Chief himself. I just had a post on OVER a hundred, VERIFIED 'fake news' items, or as they're more commonly known as 'out and out LIES'.
Did anyone lose a job or even get reprimanded? HELL NO, they just double down, then start with NEW lies when they are buried too deep in the last one. The Liar in Chief sets the tone, by lying nearly every day, many days 'multiple' times. (see post) but whenever the press reports on anything the Trumpies don't like, it's labeled 'fake' and the sheep swallow the denial.
Yup, two types of fake news. If the media gets caught, heads roll, jobs are lost. When Trump and his henchmen lie, it's NO BIG DEAL, cuz we've heard it SO much, and everyone just expects it.
Here's over a hundred, from just the last few months...

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...
