Half-Truths as Propaganda

Wed, 09/29/2021 - 12:00am

Last week, ABC Evening News reported that the Arizona Audit concluded Donald Trump received a couple hundred votes less than previously recorded and that Joe Biden received almost a hundred more. That was the extent of their audit coverage. The problem, however, is that what they said was a half-truth and amounted to a whole lie. The audit concluded that the election was so filled with errors and outright violations of the law that the final vote totals were meaningless. Those who conducted the audit recommended wholesale changes in law to insure honesty in next year's election.

Almost 92, Clint Eastwood, and Betty White, almost 100, offer us hope

I first saw Clint Eastwood on the Big Screen in 1966. He was 36 at the time, and I was 11. Me and a buddy went to see “The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly.” I had watched clean-shaven Clint in Rawhide on black-and-white TV, but in “The Good…” flick, Eastwood with his stubble and quick gun, hat hanging low, was as cool as Sean Connery’s 007 (also making the theater rounds in those days); only one was driving an Aston Martin while the other was riding a horse. Up until then, though, the mid-1960s, there hadn’t been any Western Movie gunslinger as cool as Eastwood.
