Sort through lies to find the truth

The recent “attack” on religious freedom reinforces my belief that as big lies go, the conservative mantra of the “liberal” media is as big a whopper as I have witnessed.

Conservatives are empowered to write narratives, as they see fit, to further their political agendas, all with the aid of the so-called “liberal” media. This latest example should have been reported not as an attack on religious freedom but one of equal access to treatment for all women.

Abortion: The issue involves choice, not abortion. Those who oppose conservatives' push for the state to dictate to women what they can or cannot do with their bodies are pro-choice, but conservatives are anti-choice.

Conservatives portray Democrats as weak on defense - who led America during two world wars?

George W. Bush allegedly was the strong presidential candidate while John Kerry was the weak one. Bush “got” into National Guard while Kerry volunteered for Vietnam and was thrice decorated.

We may continue to be inundated with the big lie reports and must sort through the BS. What became of the Fourth Estate?
