President Donald Trump said yesterday that the American people should believe what they read and what they see. This Orwellian statement could easily be seen as him trying to work the referees when the media reports don't go his way. But one of the things we are seeing is that Trump has been using Russian propaganda on his twitter feed, retweeting a doctored video of Secretary Clinton from a government outlet. What is worse is that the press conference in Helsinki included a question to Vladimir Putin asking if he wanted Trump to win the election and if he ordered his people to help. Putin said yes he did and it was because then candidate Trump wanted to build a better relationship with Russia. The official White House release of the video and transcript of the press conference erases the question about Putin helping Trump. Let me repeat, a video of a broadcast of a press conference that many people saw has been altered to serve President Trump's agenda. Donald Trump is living the the Saggy song It Wasn't Me. It doesn't matter what reality is, it appears to be what the Trump administration wants you believe. That is a serious problem in a Democratic Republic. Facts are facts except for this White House. There is always a political position to change the narrative and people will tell you all politicians lie. But they don't tend to lie about objective facts in a way that basically says reality isn't real. In fact on the same day the White House released this altered video and transcript the President tweeted that the Russian will work to elect Democrats because they hate Trump. So this, of course, is a pattern. Every reporter should ask every Republican or member of the administration about this, but they are obsessed with the Cohen tapes. So we should ask. Call your representatives and ask them, do they think it is appropriate for the President to share Russian propaganda and to alter videos of important press conferences. If they don't answer, ask again. If they do nothing about it, vote for someone who will. The beauty of our country is that you have the power to make this better. Or we can sit back and try to understand why the media think a payment for sex is important and if Rosanne will be back on TV. Then you are just helping the propaganda.
