Decrying the “wild west” media landscape, President Obama said there must be “some sort of way in which we can sort through information that passes some basic truthiness tests”.
Simple: anyone who uses the word “truthiness” with a straight face is unreliable.
“truthiness” from a guy who’s favorite quote is Herod “What is truth”
That was Pontius Pilate not Herod and he was probably quoting someone.
Does Genius McDemocrat even know that “truthiness” connotes not truth, but rather “sounding true, but in reality not being true”?
He might not have said this if he did.
Just another in a long line of “Don’t call my bluff” moments for Einstein Q. Birthcirtificateless.
Pretty sure Obummer meant exactly that. As in, this sounds true but is actually just fraudulent National Socialist Democrat Workers Party propaganda.
“some sort of way in which we can sort through information” And I’m thinking about a government “Truth” Department. Yup, that’s the ticket. Let us set up an “impartial” group of “experts” who will “Examine” everything before it is sent to the “Free Press” to disseminate. That will work perfectly, you can “Trust” the government.
Notice how many finger-quotes Dr. Evil would need to read your statement . . . Mister Separation of Powers.
I bid you Adieu.
