Former President Barack Obama visited Stanford University on Friday to deliver a profound and timely address on the dangers of disinformation. He warned that “Once [people] lose trust in their leaders, the mainstream media, in political institutions, in each other, in the possibility of truth, the game is won.”<\/em> It was a compelling discourse on the precarious state of modern communications and propaganda.<\/p>\n

Naturally, whenever Obama appears in public to remind everyone what an intelligent and articulate leader sounds like, Fox News needs to start flinging feces at him in a desperate effort to deflect from his pertinent and persuasive message. And on Friday that assignment was given to Fox’s Senior White Nationalist, Tucker Carlson. Carlson began his harangue<\/a><\/strong> by flagrantly misrepresenting Obama’s words. Carlson said that…<\/p>\n

“Obama argued that only his political opponents lie, and they must be stopped immediately.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, Obama didn’t say either of those things. Carlson is simply making stuff up so that he can subsequently condemn it in his typically pretentious and whiny voice. This is, after all, the same cretinous cream puff who recently declared that “The End of Men”<\/em> was imminent and that the only salvation was a program of therapeutic testicle tanning.<\/p>\n

Carlson followed his opening lie with a video of Obama that actually proved that Carlson was lying. In the video Obama said that…<\/p>\n

“People like Putin, and Steve Bannon for that matter, understand it\u2019s not necessary for people to believe this information in order to weaken democratic institutions. You just have to flood a country\u2019s public square with enough raw sewage. You just have to raise enough questions, spread enough dirt, plant enough conspiracy theorizing, that citizens no longer know what to believe.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
