About Lying

4/20/24:



I wanted to put in this Braveheart video about deception in the context of betrayal and current events, but couldn't find the post I was looking for. So, I'll use this one.

The point to make is that nobody should be surprised at what happened on the foreign aid vote. This is what you can expect from these people.

In the Braveheart video, Robert the Bruce's father said "you let yourself be deceived". That's right. You cannot be lied to without your own permission. This doesn't excuse the betrayal, it only informs a person of a corrective that needs to be applied.

There was something on Ace of Spades HQ about some folks on CNN discussing the dishonesty in media. It was somehow connected to Brian Stelter, and of course, it drew some crticism at Ace.

Now I've heard a few things about Stelter, but since I don't watch TV, I don't know if I could honestly say that he's a liar. Generally speaking, though, after watching the media for years, I'd say on the whole that the media is dishonest.

It is a bit laughable for these people to claim to be objective and honest. If that claim is going to be made, then that alone is dishonest.

Anybody can have an opinion. You could go on TV all day long expressing your opinion, and I wouldn't care. But call it objective news is just plain dishonest. To turn around and claim that it isn't dishonest is just plain laughable.

You probably wouldn't get a peep from the conservative side if these people would just be honest about their opinions. It would be a good bet that 90% of those in media vote for Democrats. Ask them about it, and they'll hem and haw and say it is none of your business.

If people knew where you were coming from they might not be swayed as much as someone who claims that their reporting is straight down the line objective. There is the gullibility factor, and a factor that involves laziness. There are plenty of ways to inform yourself. It just so happens that to go on a place that is always trying to pull the wool over your eyes is not such a good choice to get information. I never watch CNN, but I've watched network news. I don't think they are objective. It seems more likely than not that CNN is no better than network news ( over the air), and might be worse. Stelter could be trying to pull the wool over people's eyes.

Stelter can have his opinions all day long, but his show is called "Reliable Sources". This may not be accurate. Just sayin'.
