The assumption of lies. During this election year, we are destined to hear many words that are toxic in the way they misrepresent reality and substitute fantasies that can win votes.

John Nolte: Why CNN Is Dying - The Network Shamlessly Used The Paris Bloodbath To Push For More Gun Control
CNN is collapsing. After a bit of a resurgence under chief Jeff Zucker,
the left-wing cable news network’s ratings are falling back to earth.
After a year of trumpeting ratings wins over third-place MSNBC (while
