Opening the door for lies....

When I watched the news and saw one of Trump’s

people explain why what his press secretary said,

was not lies BUT ALTERED TRUTH!!  All I could

think was .. OH. .. MY… GOD… did she ever opent

the door to untruth.  Better know to you and I as LIES.

They don’t need to use the wording of ..”little white

lie” anymore.. and even flat out lying.. will be come

obsolete.   ALTERNATIVE TRUTH is the new one…

The door is open.  This isn’t just a buzz word.  A buzz

word is, word or words uttered and people pick it up and

over use it.. WHERE IS THE BEEF?  ALRIGHT,ALRIGHT,

QUITE FRANKLY I DON’T GIVE A DAMN..  Or simple

ones.. cool, awesome and so many we have picked up from

a simple word or wording uttered by someone. 

But the door that opens will also become a legal one.

I am sorry, your honor, I did not lie, it was an alternative

truth.

Newspaper and later television reporters use to be held to 
accountability for the truth.  Some times legally, some

times by society.   We all know that of late, the media,

all media… has had a hard time staying in the line of truth.

Fox News has a way of spinning the truth .. as well as some

of the bigger news outlets. Depending on what political

game side they are on.  What use to be called yellow

journalism, has become the norm.  We use to make fun

of the “scandal sheets” like Enquire, and alike.  But

now we can’t count on anything.

Guess life has become like my parents use to say, which

was a saying… Believe ¼ of what you read and ½ of what

you see. Now to believe 1/10 of what you read and 1/4 of what you 
see

Does this mean that the legal cases of slander will now go to

the way side?  After all, slander is lies.. and true is going to

become alternative truth, which of course, to you and I is…lies.

Say nothing about dealing with your kids.. they will catch

on to this fast.. I DID NOT LIE… I told the altered truth.

What comes to mind is .. Sir Walter Scott’s words.  

Oh, what a tangle web we weave, when we first  

practice to deceive.
