Baltimore Sun: Hillary Clinton's LIES Can't Survive The Age Of Social Media...

http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/opinion/oped/bs-ed-kass-clinton-20160517-story.html

from the link:

Hillary Clinton should be thankful that her career as America's truth bender began long before social media really got going.

When she started dropping those big fat fibs of hers, there was no Facebook or Twitter, no army of Internet trolls to unleash at her enemies, and no emails to be mysteriously lost at the Obama State Department.

That was the pre e-Hillary.

Back then all she had to do was wink and put on her bad Southern accent and make her eyes big on TV -- that astonished Hillary who just couldn't get her mind around those devious Washington ways, blaming all her troubles, and Bill's, on tricky Republicans putting turtles on fenceposts.

She could make $100,000 in her first cattle futures trades after putting up only $1,000. And later in the White House, magically get access to the FBI files of hundreds of Clinton political enemies....

excellent rundown on all the bullshit @ link..

who tried to make a name for himself at the Chicago Sun by claiming that Barack Obama was a dirty politician and owned by Tony Rezko. He was a frequent guest on both Bill O'Reilly and Glen Beck's talk shows.

That's your hero of the day. Maybe tomorrow you "progressives" can dig up something Sean Hannity said about Clinton.

That's not "the Baltimore Sun" saying that; that would be an editorial. It's a conservative columnist writing an op-ed (which means, "opposite the editorial&quot .

A non-deceptive headline would be: "John Kass: Hillary Clinton's lies can't survive the age of social media"
