The news that wasn’t seems to be around a lot lately. Part of the news that wasn’t was my announcement of the renaming of this blog (see Reality Based Opinions), so I am sort of qualified to discuss this. But I suppose I should back up.

When I was much younger, there was a TV show called “That Was the Week That Was”. Since we now have so much fake news coming out of the Trump administration I was thinking we could have a new show called “That Was the Week That Wasn’t”.

The big story that got me thinking about this was on the the ‘Bowling Green massacre’ (see Kellyanne Conway invents ‘Bowling Green massacre’ to defend refugee ban).

I am wondering if all this news that wasn’t is just misdirection so we pay less attention to the important stuff coming out of the Trump administration
