Here is an example of #HowFakeNewsWorks
Slate Misquotes Kavanaugh, Then Attacks Him over Its Lie.

The Sunday piece by Molly Olmstead is titled “Kavanaugh, Who Said He Had ‘No Connections’ to Yale, Was a Legacy Student.”

2) So, Molly Olmstead from Slate quoted Kavanaugh as saying, under oath, that he had no connections to Yale and that he got in because he busted his butt.

She attacked/accused Kavanaugh for lying under oath, and blasted it out on their website as 'news'.

3) The point of 'fake news' propaganda outlets is to steer the mind. If they can tell a lie enough, your mind will absorb it and even if you later find out it's a lie, it still affects your thought.

4) So Molly's lie is put out as 'news'..... “After hours of testimony Thursday during which Brett Kavanaugh answered and dodged questions from the Senate Judiciary Committee, observers noted that the Supreme Court nominee had, on multiple occasions, lied under oath,”

5)“At one point in the testimony, when Kavanaugh was making the point that he had worked hard and earned his success, Kavanaugh told the committee that he had no connections to Yale before attending. ‘I have no connections there,’ he said. ‘I got there by busting my tail,'”~Molly

6) “In reality, Kavanaugh was a legacy student. His grandfather, Everett Edward Kavanaugh, attended Yale as an undergraduate”, Molly said.

So Molly is trying to convince her good followers that Kavanaugh has LIED UNDER OATH! But, here is the truth.....

7) Here is Kavanaugh’s ACTUAL quote: “I got into *Yale LAW School*, the #1 law school in the country. I had no connections there. I got there by busting my tail.”

You don’t get into Yale *Law* because your grandpa went to Yale *undergrad*. ~Jerry Dunleavy (@JerryDunleavy)

8) So, that my friends is #HowFakeNewsWorks. It is NOT always an out and out lie. Many times it's just a 'minor' omission.

There will come a day, when all the lies will collapse under their own weight, and truth will again triumph. ~Joseph Goebbels
