The only "alternative facts" surrounded the narrative that George S was trying to build.
Anyone who watched bubblevision over the years, knows CEOs can lie with great dexterity. Under the current regime, every CEO will be eager to fit the regime's narrative, lest they suffer consequences. So, was he fibbing? Did George have solid data backing what he said? We Proles don't know.
The Shinyland media is, as pointed out from time to time, more interested in promoting hype and hysteria, than in informing the public. Your market may have seen a variation of the ad the NBC affiliate was running here in metro Detroit, when Fallon first took over the "Tonight Show". It was a riff on his "thank you notes" bit. Fallon writes "thank you, local 4, for telling me something in my kitchen can kill me, but never telling me what it is"
The regime has also lowered the bar, to an unprecedented level, regarding attachment to reality.
Remain skeptical, at all times.
