CNN Just Published A Fake Quote From Abraham Lincoln
JULY 5, 2017 By Mollie Hemingway
CNN tweeted out quotes from notable Americans for the Fourth of July. Here was one of the quotes they tweeted from Abraham Lincoln:
or
CNN/Newseum’s version: “Let the people know the facts, and the country will be safe.”
Report from contemporaneous individual: “Let them know the truth, and the country is safe.”
Insofar as a hearsay quote should ever be tweeted out or inscribed in walls, at least it should be accurate. Particularly when it’s about “truth” and “facts.” We’ll leave aside discussions of whether the great Abraham Lincoln’s record on press freedoms means he should be honored at the Newseum. The quote, in context, is about public opinion being so against the Civil War, due to what Lincoln said was people being misled, that they would have accepted disunion over a continued fight.
The conflation of “facts” and “truth” is perfect. Facts can be manipulated. Truth is much more difficult to attain. It might be factual that intelligence chiefs briefed President-elect Trump about a Russian dossier, for instance. But whether that fact is used to spin a Russian conspiracy hoax is where truthfulness is important.

How can you find what is trending on twitter? I came across a blurb on Google that said #cnnblackmail was removed from the list. Every link I click to check takes me to some stupid other twitter. (I don't have twitter).

I tried searching #cnnblackmail in info.com and nothing was returned. Blocked?

"The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams
“It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free." -Niccolo Machiavelli
The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken

This whole thread cannot be about a real news item - there's no mention of the incident or #CNNblackmail on CNN's site.
