Glasser wrote for the outlet on January 20. \u201cBiden spoke of unity, of national reconciliation, and also \u2014 and perhaps most important of all \u2014 of the need for leaders \u2018to defend the truth and defeat the lies,\u2019\u201d she added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As I have <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/dont-fall-for-the-legacy-medias-lies-of-omission\"><span>discussed<\/span><\/a><span> before, however, the notion of \u201ctruth\u201d and \u201clies\u201d referenced by Biden and his administration goes beyond this simple binary. Between the \u201cgood\u201d side of truth and the \u201cbad\u201d side of lies, the Democrats have cultivated a habitual home in the hidden chasm in between: lies of omission.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Democrats aren\u2019t <\/span><i><span>really<\/span><\/i><span> lying about the border crisis, beyond linguistic battles which are nothing but routine in the political arena. Instead, they are simply erasing the problem from existence, relying on their favorite toolkit: the mainstream media. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Last year, with the media\u2019s help, they didn\u2019t have to deal with the accusations leveled against Hunter Biden, or the failure of Democratic governors and their COVID-19 policies, or that Kamala Harris later endorsed a man she had implied was a racist guilty of sexual assault.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Preventing the media from reporting on the border crisis is simply a continuation of this winning strategy. The fact that the legacy media are reacting with shock is not necessarily indicative of their realization of the Democrats strategy. Instead, are they simply upset because they\u2019re on the losing side, this time?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>Ian Haworth is an Editor and Writer for The Daily Wire.
