re: #419 Joanne

And now they have complete cover to run with this on every right wing talk and tv show. “See! It was in the paper!”

Coz that’s how they roll.

Well, we have Godwins and Gish Gallops, so maybe we need a Cheney Facts convention/tactic.

That would be the way Cheney got the yellow cake Iraq making nukes lie out to a sympathetic journalist who then reported it as an fact from an unnamed source (Cheney) and then published in the N.Y. Times, whereupon Cheney went on Meet The press and said “it has been reported” that Iraq had the stuff to make nukes.

I think some of the authors like Huxley and Orwell would be stunned by how the truth and facts are manipulated out of pure bullshit.
