Facts are facts... there are no "alternate facts"

[Jarod]

KellyAnne Conway is a master propaganda master.

She said that the White House is simply presenting "Alternate facts" when confronted with the lies told by the White House last night about crowd size....

Think about that term, "alternate facts"??? Really?

I would not be concerned because I think the deception is so transparent, but it seems a sizable group of the public is dumb enough to fall for this shit.
Many whacks on here actually believe the "Alternate facts" out of such absolute devotion to Trump. When the people start believing what they know to be lies, we are in trouble. Its how we got into the Iraq war.

How so, do you believe there are alternate facts in this universe?

I think the media is programmed with one view and others with another view. Many times interpretation is key in what is a fact. ACA is a perfect example. It might have been great for the 20 million that now have coverage but it was awful for the 300 million that already had it. So yes facts will vary depending on the source and view of those reporting them.

You need to differentiate between truths and facts!! As a lawyer I would imagine that you live in a twilight world where facts and truths have little meaning compared to spin and emotion.

"A fact is a reality that cannot be logically disputed or rejected. If I say "fire is hot," I don't care how great your reasoning skills are, if you touch fire your skin will burn (and don't give me that "but people can walk on hot coals!" bull. There's a difference between the transfer of heat through conduction and training one's body to deal with the agonizing pain of said conduction). Now when I say this, I am not speaking a truth, I am speaking a fact. If you say "fire is not hot," you are not lying, you are incorrect. Facts are concrete realities that no amount of reasoning will change. When one acknowledges a fact, they are doing just that. Facts are not discovered, facts are not created, facts are simply acknowledged.

A truth on the other hand, is almost the opposite. Truths are those things that are not simply acknowledged, but must be discovered, or created. If I say "God exists," and I possess strong reasoning for the affirmative of that statement, then God really does exist, that is a reality. However, if another individual possesses strong reasoning for the negative, and because of this reasoning they believe that God does not exist, then that is also a reality. If we were to debate our ideologies, and my reasoning appeared stronger than theirs, they may choose to adopt my belief that God does exist. If they do, then the existence of God is just as true as the nonexistence of God which they believed a week ago. Truths, as opposed to fact, are much more fluid and malleable than their empirical counterparts."

Thanks.

The example that came to my mind was Newton / Einstein.

Newton passed 3 laws. Einstein passed zero.

But it's "Einstein" not "Newton" that's synonymous with genius.

I'm guessing there were a lot of women marching and some foul language used by celebrities in speeches to stir up crowds and such. Am I right? One of my lady Facebook friends posted this:

Lets use the example KellyAnn was using today. Is it possible for the crowd size to be both bigger than Obama's 2012 inauguration and smaller, at the same time?

So are you saying that the crowd cant be both larger and smaller for the two different inaugurations? Cuz that seems to be what Conway was saying.

To be honest, I couldn't care less about the size of the crowd, it matters little outside the incestuous media world.

And don't forget the Trump admin. It is EXTREMELY important to them.
