In conclusion, when Chuck Todd upbraids Kellyanne Conway with the claim that "alternative facts are not facts; they're falsehoods," he is not only wrong, but propagating an ignorance born out of lazy and shallow thinking. But this is not surprising, really, since when it comes to telling half-truths, or presenting alternative facts, the liberal mainstream press is more notoriously guilty than any other group currently out there.
