Political Correctness infects the CDC

[hislegacy]

Your government has never lied to you. How nice.

And the MSM has never lied or had to retract a story either. How quaint.

I guess it's a matter of who you trust more -- the people who own up to their mistakes, or the man who never does.

So let me understand this.

The media reports that the CDC was told the band certain words.

The CDC says that’s not the case

Can you believe the media

Media reports embarrassing story about government.

Government denies embarrassing story.

Government is trusted implicitly; media is enemy of American people.

The CDC says it's not quite the case - the seven words weren't "band", but employees were told not to use them in reports and budget requests.

Turns out this was all #FakeNews. The media pumping out manufactured outrage again. And they wonder we consider them the enemy.

Given there is no evidence of the banned words to begin with and the entire issue is over nothing, yes, they are our enemy.

No, it wasn't. It was overblown, but not fake. The employees were told not to use seven certain words under certain circumstances.

We don't consider them the enemy.

But, it’s printed and on the internet, AND it makes the President look bad, so it has to be true.

Apart from the style guide with “words to avoid”.

No, it was fake. I was suggested they not use these terms in a budget document to better get the funding they want and the CDC says no words were banned. Fake News.

Which wasn't enforced by anyone. Fake News and manufactured outrage.

Oh so there was evidence. Glad we settled that.
