Trump and China have the same stance on North Korea? Since when did China engage in bluster and personal taunts against North Korea for Hillary to then think she's a moderate voice? It's been the criticism that the opposite is happening and China hasn't been doing enough against North Korea. If there's a case of media bias, this is it. She's not even being called out on something this preposterous. How out of touch and dumb is Hillary because she certainly hasn't been reading what's going with North Korea to be so ignorant to make such a comment. The person who wrote her that speech doesn't know anything either and these people are a part of the political elite of the US?
Western politicians like Hillary doesn’t care about, never mind speak the true, they just say what their campaign advisors think will get them votes (forget about her disingenuous claim to no longer be in the race, she wouldn’t be giving that speach if she was really out of the game, give her half a chance and she will be back).
In a way, politicians are the godfather or fake news and have certainly played a massive role in making spin and outright lies not only acceptable, but a fact of life in the West.
While a Bush Jr aid was widely mocked for saying ‘we create our own reality’, sadly that sentiment has more than a grain of truth to it within the US at least.
Repeat a lie enough times and it becomes the accepted ‘truth’ for a lot of people. Even those who do not outright believe or accept that alternative reality can be affected by it.
Just look at how many Americans are falling for Trump’s outright lies on domestic issues, where there are plethora of contradicting sources of news and voices. So is it any wonder the American public and politicians are all out of touch with reality on foreign affairs when US media of all political leanings pretty much report with one voice?
Western politicians don’t get called out on their foreign policy BS because the interviewers themselves have tended to have been brainwashed by the constant, near uniform news narrative into accepting lies as the truth. To most Americans, the idea that China is in the wrong is pretty much the default position to take on any and all instances where China takes a different line to the US. Hell, they can often find fault with what China is doing even if it is exactly the same as what the US itself is doing.
