The burden of proof is on the person making the claim.

I just have to put this out there after seeing multiple people suggest it is up to others ("do your own homework&quot to prove or disprove a claim they've made. That's not how things work in grown-up world.

What's more, some of those same people have been known to demand that others back up claims they've made. You can't have it both ways.

The burden of proof is on the person making the claim. Simple as that.

The establishment can say whatever the fuck they want to, over and over again. Say it enough and it "becomes" truth.

The DNC, surrogates, and their main stream media tools are all adherents of Rovian philosophy now.
