1. Great piece.

3. All they needed was to insert a brain-fart into the minds who wished it true

People love a convenient lie

[Sky Masterson]

4. This.

"If there’s a better example of Noam Chomsky’s contention that the media uses propaganda — propaganda with a specific end in mind — to shift reality, and then doesn’t undo the damage they’ve done when they’re caught, I can’t think of one.

9. The damage is done however. There are way too many who will forever believe the propaganda

Seeing it here first hand, despite hard proof that there was no violence, many HRC supporters will never admit that

11. Dealing in lies is how they roll.

[Betty Karlson]

10. Truth at last. F*ck those tardy corporation-coddling propagandists.

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. Damage done

But the admission is also coming from phone video

[Fairgo]

13. I will not live in the filth of lies

I will not embrace the filthy
