President Trump’s news media strategy depends on “alternative facts” that were offered by his press secretary and top adviser on the first weekend of his presidency, instead of the real facts.
Obviously, the truth and provable facts are no longer the norm, and now we should expect the falsehoods that he so famously relied on during his campaign to continue right into the White House.
This is the stuff of third-rate dictatorships and banana republics. It has no place in our democracy, which has a high regard for truth and reporting the facts.
BETTY FLEISHER,
AVENTURA
Note from KBJ: Because Barack Obama was such an honest man. Has it occurred to you, Betty, that "alternative facts" means either "different opinions" or "different interpretations of the facts"? Why do you put the worst possible spin on things? Would you like it if I distorted everything you say in order to make it appear that you are stupid, ignorant, or evil?
