How To Lie

According to Robert Heinlein, there are three ways to tell a lie:

  • Complete fabrication. This is the means of lying used most by children. The reason is that this is the easiest way to be caught as the liar loses track of what lies they have already told.
  • Tell partial truth, partial falsehood. This is the way that most people lie. You tell the truth, but modify that truth with enough facts to tell the tale you wish to tell.
  • Tell the absolute truth, but tell it in such a way as to misdirect the listener.

With that being said, read these headlines from the leftist media:

This is why I don’t watch traditional media. If I catch you lying to me once, I can never again trust anything that you tell me. Note that they are telling the truth, but are doing so in such a way as to misdirect the receiver of the message. The omission of the key facts completely transform the message, making the received message a different one that the reality that the message was based upon.

You don’t hate our media enough.

In the meantime, I continue making sure that my family is ready for what is coming.

I Noticed

I noticed that WKMG always mentions the race of accused criminals when the criminal is white.

They never do so when the criminal is black, even when that black criminal is an armed robber, or when he is a child molester who murdered a 13 year old girl while he was raping her. Or when a pair of Canadians and their mudshark girlfriend are shooting at a crime victim, but more on that in another post.

There is no Pravda in Isvestia

The press is supposed to keep the people informed on what government officials are doing, but today it fails in its job, in that the press isn’t doing any actual reporting. What they are doing is simply asking the questions that they are being told to ask.

It’s come out that interviews of Biden are completely staged because reporters are being told what questions to ask.

Ingram told ABC he didn’t see anything necessarily wrong with the practice. “To think that I was gonna get an opportunity to ask any question to the President of the United States, I think, is a bit more than anybody should expect,” he said.

The expectation of all of us should be that the press is more than just the disinformation bureau of the President’s office.

Slavery

We periodically see those on the left making this demand. They are no better than my 14 year old niece who believes the same thing. It’s the same sort of magical thinking that is displayed by children, because children know nothing about providing for themselves due to mommy and daddy giving them whatever they want. Once these children reach the age of majority, they expect the free stuff to continue being delivered.

I Can’t Ignore This One

A large fight involving over 100 guests of the Canadian persuasion broke out in an Orlando Waterpark owned by Sea World.

The incident resulted in police locking down and evacuating the park.

Only For the Hoi Polloi

You need to eat bugs, stop doing your laundry, and buy an electric car that makes it impossible to do a long road trip, so you can save the planet. Unless you are rich and famous, then the rules don’t apply to you. If the commoners point out your hypocrisy, then you get a law passed to keep them from finding out how the rules you espouse don’t apply to you. It’s really important that your two private jets be permitted to fly you all over the world because you need to make money, or something.

unlike someone like Musk, Swift actually had a pretty good reason to travel a lot last year: she was on tour.

Musk travelling for business isn’t to be allowed, but Taylor Swift being permitted to travel for business is, like, really, super important, right?
