Orwell Was Right Kellyanne Conway and Alternative Facts

[GoLeft TV]

During an interview with NBC’s Chuck Todd this weekend, Trump spokesperson Kellyanne Conway said that White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer offered up “alternative facts” about the size of Trump’s inauguration crowds. This is going to be the new normal during the Trump administration, and it highlights a dangerous parallel between America today and George Orwell’s classic Nineteen Eighty Four. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

2. Who would have ever believed that "1984" would turn out to be the script for DT's administration?

It's like they are using the novel as a reference book.

3. If CONway's lips are moving,

she's either lying, eating, vomiting, or giving Cheeto "lip service."

I can't imagine why anyone in the media - people who've known her well since the Clinton impeachcoup - would be surprised in the least.

4. I think Orwell and Huxley were BOTH right.

Because at the other end of this, is a populace that just doesn't care.

5. Isn't it time for her to look into an alternate face? n/t

6. Kellyanne Con Job needs to be shunned by the media.

Their concern about losing "access" is a joke in itself. They'll lose access regardless of what they do. Start reporting the real facts and give "alternative girl" the heave ho.
