By now you must have heard of the big issue of children being separated from parents at our boarder with Mexico ……. this is highly controversial and within the past 24 hours five current and former First Ladies have weighed in on this situation…. express concern and at times outrage at how this situation is being managed by the current administration.
Part of the management of the situation is a considerable amount of communication "spin". Here is a link to an article from the Washington Post which does a great job of sorting out the spin from the truth.
In these modern times it is important to be able to separate fact from fiction or even more critically fact from near fact or semi-fact. And we need to be prepared to sort through these claims as we go about making decisions that affect us and/or others. For example, "More cars means less traffic". You might have heard that one lately. Still makes my head shake.
Anyway, here is the link to the Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2018/06/19/the-facts-about-trumps-policy-of-separating-families-at-the-border/?utm_term=.54b235edb54f&wpisrc=nl_most&wpmm=1
I subscribe to the online version….. you might want to, too.
