WIST Quotations<a href="https://wist.info/arendt-hannah/45162/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">A quotation from Hannah Arendt</a><blockquote>If everybody always lies to you, the consequence is not that you believe the lies, but rather that nobody believes anything any longer. This is because lies, by their very nature, have to be changed, and a lying government has constantly to rewrite its own history. On the receiving end you get not only one lie — a lie which you could go on for the rest of your days — but you get a great number of lies, depending on how the political wind blows. And a people that no longer can believe anything cannot make up its mind. It is deprived not only of its capacity to act but also of its capacity to think and to judge. And with such a people you can then do what you please.</blockquote>Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist Interview (1973-10) with Roger Errera, Office de Radiodiffusion-Télévision Française (ORTF) Sourcing, notes: <a href="https://wist.info/arendt-hannah/45162/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">wist.info/arendt-hannah/45162/</a><a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quote</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quotes</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quotation</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=belief" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#belief</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=confusion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#confusion</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=control" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#control</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=deceit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#deceit</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=judgment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#judgment</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=disbelief" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disbelief</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=skepticism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#skepticism</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=lies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lies</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=lying" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lying</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=power" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#power</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=reality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#reality</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=tyranny" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tyranny</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=uncertainty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#uncertainty</a>

Chuck DarwinThe mainstream media’s “<a href="https://c.im/tags/fact" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#fact</a>-<a href="https://c.im/tags/checking" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#checking</a>” of the Democratic National Convention was ⭐️ rightly ridiculed for an obsession with semantics and pedantic nitpicking, but the result was more than just annoying. Many of the purported “fact-checks” go beyond verifying Democrats’ statements and instead serve as political spin for Trump, giving him an unearned benefit of the doubt that almost ignores he actually was president and has an established <a href="https://c.im/tags/record" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#record</a> of <a href="https://c.im/tags/deceit" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#deceit</a> and malicious <a href="https://c.im/tags/incompetence" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#incompetence</a>.The error that fact-checkers consistently make is taking Trump’s assertions and denials at face value. They still treat the convicted felon like someone who operates in good faith, which often results in wish-casting and the “<a href="https://c.im/tags/sane" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#sane</a>-<a href="https://c.im/tags/washing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#washing</a>” of Trump’s blather. Democrats, meanwhile, are held to an impossibly literal standard where routine exaggerations and rhetorical flourishes are treated like whoppers.Trump’s statements are decontextualized, while those from Democrats are relentlessly scrutinized. The impact is a proliferation of false equivalencies that normalize Republican liars. <a href="https://www.publicnotice.co/p/politifact-glenn-kessler-amy-gardner-linda-qiu-dnc-fact-check" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://www.publicnotice.co/p/politifact-glenn-kessler-amy-gardner-linda-qiu-dnc-fact-check</a>
