Conway manipulated media again with "Alternative Facts"

[djsunyc]

so on the subway riding into work im thinking of the term "alternative facts" and realize conway had just manipulated the media again. media ate it up and now will probably be using that term instead of using the more malicious term of lie. and the word fact is in it, which means an undeniable truth. brilliant manipulation on her part and the media got played again.

1. not a complete victory for her, though; "alternative facts" is a flawed choice for her

because "alternative facts" implies that they're not the normal facts. it effectively acknowledges that the real facts are the real facts and that conway's "alternative facts" are the ones in the alternate universe.

2. I didn't see a single media entity treating it with anything but derision.

Not sure what you saw that you would describe as "ate it up" that suggests they will be using it.

3. I saw the exact opposite

What I saw from the media was unadulterated outrage. What I saw was a commitment from the media to call a lie a lie.

4. Now if we could just get them to refer to the people propagating

these lies as "pieces of shite" it would be a real victory.

5. No, Conway utterly failed in her clumsy attempt to manipulate the media.

There have been more dozens of columns and op-eds about her pathetic attempt to cover up the lack of support for Dump at the inauguration.
