I just had a flashback:
Many many years ago, the evening news programs would report on some problem occurring within the then-Soviet Union. They would present witnesses or principals in the event/tragedy and at the end of the report they would add what Pravda states in their news release from the USSR , and it would always be a giant untruth (read:lie) or variation of the incident which trivialized or negated its occurrence.
Now this is what trump and the gop do now. Just Orwellian in nature. Sick sad world
