wild how the media has fully given up on using the word “lie” as powerful people just bullshit constantly

it’s always “contradicted earlier statements” or “made claims that do not align with the facts” like girl just say they knowingly made shit up, we all see it

@matthewbischoff
They want plausible deniability for their legal department & to obfuscate and prevaricate as much as possible. If they say nothing they can’t be held accountable for anything.

@matthewbischoff

My KINGDOM for a #newspaper / online #news outlet that focuses on newsmaker ACTIONS not WORDS.

I really don’t care much what any fascist has to SAY (assume all lies/FUD). Or for that matter what the opposition says. I very much care what they all DO.

Maybe deep down in the paper, like near the comic strip / crossword pages, they could run headlines on what all the talking heads SAID, but really, is it necessary?

Scrutize what they DO not SAY.

@matthewbischoff Agreed! I think "convicted criminal and liar" would be the appropriate phrase to insert at the front of every mention of you know who!

@matthewbischoff because they'd otherwise have to admit that they #platformed and #normalized said #lies!

#Platforming = #Endorsement!
