An extraordinary set of exchanges between McCain campaign manager Steve Schmidt and NYTimes White House correspondent Michael D. Shear. Q: When is a lie a lie? A: When it’s a lie, except in the New York Times. Essential reading.https://twitter.com/steveschmidtses/status/992822469013704704 …

The NYT remains the newspaper of record. And has so often in its history spoken truth to power courageously. (C. f., Pentagon Papers.) Which is why I think it all the more important to call them out when they refuse to call torture torture, or a lie a lie.
I think it is an important and necessary discussion. The late great Sen DP Moynihan said “ Americans are entitled to their own opinions but not their own facts.” We objectively don’t live in that country anymore and that isn’t just tragic it’s dangerous to democracy .

Facts are at least as important to the existence and essence of a nation as borders.

Tragically some believe there are two sides of facts. 2+2=4 numerical fact.
