Only the aspirants for president are fool enough to believe what they read in the newspapers.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Don't believe everything that you read in the newspapers.
Journalists, who are skeptical to begin with, simply do not like to be lied to or made fools of.
The public should begin to understand that there's nothing that comes out of this campaign, or this Obama White House, that they can believe. It truly is all misrepresentation and deception.
The American people don't believe politicians. They don't believe business leaders or Hollywood celebrities or athletes or other supposed role models. And they certainly don't believe the news media.
The trouble with this country is that there are too many politicians who believe, with a conviction based on experience, that you can fool all of the people all of the time.
The West Wing seems to be feeding the myth about how presidential politics are.
I offer something very different from the lifelong career politicians who have worked their way up to run for higher office or those who can parachute in with checks for $5 million or $10 million, and that seems to be the definition of credible or legitimate. I'm rejecting that premise.
Every government is run by liars and nothing they say should be believed.
There are some people in politics and in the press who can't be confused by the facts. They just will not live in an evidence-based world. And that's regrettable.
There are a lot of smart honest, progressive people who I think can be good presidents.
