Sarah Huckabee Sanders lambastes fake news — and then promotes a journalist accused of deceptive videos
....
In other words, when you are lecturing journalists on the importance of accuracy and ethics, citing O'Keefe probably isn't a great idea. And really, the juxtaposition of those two things from Huckabee Sanders at Tuesday's briefing says it all.
The White House is far less concerned about accuracy than it is about its own version of the truth — it is less concerned about facts than about its own, alternative facts. If it and the president himself showed a greater regard for accuracy in their own dealings with the news media, these complaints would be easier to take seriously. The media makes mistakes, and this week proved it! But citing O'Keefe fits well with a particularly long paper trail suggesting the White House's accuracy crusade is hopelessly one-sided and self-serving.
