Stay Focused on the Big Picture

June 30, 2022 · 8:00 am ET · Leave a Comment

Caroline Orr Bueno: “One of the goals of disinformation campaigns like the one targeting Cassidy Hutchinson is to discredit the significant points of her testimony by calling into question details about the less-significant/insignificant points. Stay focused on the big picture, which isn’t in doubt.”

Charlie Sykes: “How did Trump himself see this? He obsesses about appearances, and she was an attractive, poised, and compelling witness. To use Trump’s own term, she looked like she was from ‘central casting,’ and she made for great television. Which is why TrumpWorld absolutely, positively will work feverishly to discredit her testimony. Which, of course, is already underway.”

Here's a News Tool Worth Trying

I spend a lot of time following political news, but even I can't read everything. That's why I appreciate what Ground News does.

It shows how the same story is covered across the political spectrum — and highlights important stories that one side may be ignoring entirely.
