President Donald Trump opined on Twitter about the weekend controversy that involved students of Covington Catholic High School and Omaha tribal elder Nathan Phillips.
A viral video of a confrontation between a MAGA hat wearing student Nick Sandmann and the Native American protestor is just another example of the Rorschach test age in which we find ourselves.
Critics of the Trump administration and the Make America Great Again ethos see a smirking and disrespectful teen (as was widely first reported on various cable news outlets) while those who believe in a biased media see an unfair portrayal that targets white boys who believe that life begins at inception. (Plot twist: maybe there is truth to both reactions?)

(10,437 posts)The play is to make news look fake and that MAY succeed as "the rest of the story come out" with all the subsequent videos of the encounter paint a different light on the"encounter".
Rather got played by Rove when he did the 60 minutes report on George W Bush's "service" in TANG. Rahter's report was more less 99% spot on and then the hook was set by Rove when the "typeface" of the font came out as being later than the documents. Rendered Rather useless after that.
Perhaps the single most brilliant political trick ever done

(10,274 posts)so...a buncha people with 'I hate trump' signs is a false flag operation, because Fake News, AND a buncha people with 'i love trump' signs, ARE ALSO a false flag operation, because Fake News?
This is a trick, right? This is some kind of Logic test designed to undermine the very premise of Occam's Razor, RIGHT??
Because otherwise, its the stupidist thing he's ever wanted us to believe: that the people who approve of him, are actually FAKES.
And that would be nuts, even for HIM.
