At American Greatness, Edward Ring notes the “difference” between some lies and others
The following was posted on social media recently by a widely respected California-based journalist:
I don’t like being an alarmist but the epidemic of misinformation is becoming critical and increasingly dangerous. It was bad enough when we had a lying POTUS but it is now clear that it’s become a political tactic of a large part of one of our main political parties. And, if one major party can get away with mass lying, so can the other one, so I fear this will spread across ideological boundaries.”
It’s fair to say this reflects a majority opinion among journalists throughout the American media, and it invites a response. This journalist accuses “one of our main political parties” of engaging in “mass lying,” obviously referring to the Republicans and obviously blind to the lies promulgated by the Democrats.
Of course politics is full of lies, mis-truths, spin, etc. We all know that, but Mr. Ring is writing of different lies. Lies that are massive in substance and in how often they are repeated, usually without any challenge from the media, or, in fact, reported as factual by our media. I think we both know which party’s lies the media co-ops. Like, you know our CLIMATE EMERGENCY!
Perhaps the biggest lie in terms of how it is going to damage the prosperity and freedom of Americans is the so-called “climate emergency.” Almost every major news network now devotes a significant portion of its headline content to what used to be relegated to local television weather reports. Once in a great while, a massively destructive hurricane used to dominate national news. Nowadays, every major heatwave and every big storm is heralded as evidence of devastating “climate change.” These events are often tragic and should never be trivialized, but the implication is that any measure, no matter how draconian, is justified to supposedly stop them.
Go read it all folks. The “Green Lie” if you will is completely credible to our media. Fact checks? Not needed apparently.
