Wondering, I am, about the truth in today’s news. US President Trump says something, the press refutes with facts, then he doubles down and continues to insist his version is correct. And this, from a US president. I find it odd that someone of such a high office would do and say such “alternative truths”, as he puts it. Really, there are no alternative truths, only truths backed by evidence. There are different conclusions made from the same original evidence, but no alternative truths. Alternative truths are close to a lie. What do we tell our kids, after years of us espousing everyone to tell the truth, when people in high office begin to lie.
I sincerely hope that reporters in the Western world continue to strive to find the truth and not simply regurgitate reports given to them by politicians. This reporting from the top is a hallmark of communist propaganda such as the likes of China. We really do not want to regress to such a state, where the common people do not believe what they read or hear. Who really believes the economic news that China puts out, only to discover that one of their provinces, Liaoning, was cooking the economic books.

Getting to the point of truth. On the left is the 2009 Obama Inauguration. On the right is Trump’s in 2017. Clearly and without any hope of misinterpretation, were more people attended Obama’s 2009 Inauguration. To say otherwise is a bald faced lie. Spin the photo all you want, but Obama was clearly more popular in 2009. The evidence stands.
Lieing in public is not cool, but deceitful. People can easily see through it when given the unbiased evidence. Show people the evidence and let them decide for themselves.
