Maybe if there had been transparency from the administration instead of the President going on national television and claiming it was caused by a YouTube video then the whole thing could have been defused quickly.
I stand corrected Crockett, I am not perfect.  I was hearing bad information on what passes for "news" channels in the U.S. and I took one guys OPINION on what happened and mistook it for fact.
Sound familiar? |
That was another bs thing that was shown to be untrue. Obama was reporting on what the CIA had told him. The protest thing was information that Obama was given and that's what he also repeted.
Even all the Republican led investigations came to the conclusion that he didn't lie but spoke on the information that he had at that time, which later was found to not be true. Meaning he did not intentionally lie, he spoke based off the information he had at that time.
Call it the fog of war or whatever but even the republican investigations agreed he was not trying to mislead.
Almost all these scandals originate with Fox News. Every since they won their court case about being able to lie to viewers and twist the news to be what they want, they get guests on their shows to say what they want to report.
The right wing polititions then run with it giving the scandals the appearance of legitimacy and it all become a vicious circle where they feed off each other.
Then one by one they are proven to not be true but by then the shit has been beaten Into people's heads so they belive it anyway.
