Remember how Barack Obama lied to our faces to sell ObamaCare? Remember how you could keep your insurance? You could keep your doctor? An average family would save $2,500 a year on insurance?
Well, he did the same thing on the Iran “deal” – at least according to Fox News correspondent James Rosen, speaking on Friday’s “O’Reilly Factor”.
From David Rutz’s article at freebeacon.com:
“What’s the headline?” O’Reilly asked of the Times story, which he said he had not read.
“Well, the question here raised is whether there was deception in the selling of the Iran deal to the American public as practiced by Ben Rhodes … and the answer is unquestionably there was,” Rosen said.
Pressed by O’Reilly to reveal what about the story proved Rhodes engaged in deceptive tactics, Rosen discussed in particular one section where author David Samuels wrote Rhodes and the administration willfully manufactured narratives to make the deal more palpable to the American people. This includes the fictional idea that talks with Iran were only happening because of the rise of so-called “moderates” in the Islamic Republic in 2013.
In reality, Obama had wanted to make a deal ever since taking office, regardless of who was in charge in Iran.
“I can attest directly that the Obama administration in the person of then-State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland, of whom I am very fond, Bill, flat-out lied to me in February 2013,” Rosen said. “I asked, point blank, ‘Are there any direct talks going on between the U.S. and Iran of any kind?’ And she said no, at a point when those talks had been ongoing for eight months.”
Rosen added Rhodes had also lied about the deal’s substance, like when he told CNN last year the U.S. would have “anytime, anywhere” access to Iran’s nuclear facilities. Later on, he and Secretary of State John Kerry said that having such access was never sought in negotiations.
“There are numerous such instances of deception on the part of this administration,” Rosen said.
Does this surprise anyone? I would hope not. Given that Barack Obama – with a breathtaking degree of cover provided by our supposedly “neutral” media – has lied to us continuously throughout his presidency, it would seem an expectation rather than a surprise.
Two major components of the Obama legacy – ObamaCare and the Iran “deal” – both built on lies. And both abetted by an adoring media.
The same media which are currently attacking Donald Trump.
Little wonder that, as distasteful as he is, so many people are siding with Trump.
Makes me remember back to when the msm lied about Bush being a liar.
If you look at the facts instead of the narrative the msm gave, you will see that Bush didn’t lie the msm did.
Then they cover for Obama and now they attack Trump, I cant help but wonder how is this legal.
I understand the First Amendment and I don’t see anywhere that it gives msm the right to twist facts and hide the truth and fabricate events.
Do these people entrusted to give us the news have no shame???
Is there no recourse for the public to stop them???
