The Times, the Biden campaign, the Democrat leadership, and others on board with the idea have come nowhere close to pursuing “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.”
Yet despite a history of disseminating misinformation, clear biases, and suppression of those with different views, they would select the arbiters of Orwellian truth.
So who could be trusted as the reality czar? No one.
So who could be trusted as the reality czar? No one.
Just ask Democrats why they never suggested having one when Trump was in office. In politics, truth is subservient to power.
Since any attempt to provably establish the truth would be littered with obstacles and controversies, while creating a substantial threat to Americans’ freedoms, only someone indisputably committed to both truth and freedom could possibly be trusted to lead such an enterprise.
And there are precious few who would qualify.
“There is no learned man but will confess be hath much profited by reading controversies--his senses awakened, his judgment sharpened, and the truth which he holds firmly established…should it not at least be tolerable and free for his adversary to write…
...it follows then, that all controversy being permitted, falsehood will appear more false, and truth the more true; which must needs conduce much to the general confirmation of an implicit truth.” ~ John Milton
“Liberty hath a sharp and double edge, fit only to be handled by just and virtuous men; to bad and dissolute, it becomes a mischief unwieldy in their own hands: neither is it completely given, but by them who have the happy skill to know what is grievance and unjust to a people..
...and how to remove it wisely; what good laws are wanting, and how to frame them substantially, that good men may enjoy the freedom which they merit, and the bad the curb which they need.”~ John Milton
“They who seek nothing but their own just liberty, have always right to win it and to keep it…be the voices ever so numerous that oppose it.” ~ John Milton
