Column: ‘Big lies’ worse than ‘fake news’
by gregmcneilly

Hypocrisy thee hath a name!
by gregmcneilly
gregmcneillyWithin an hour of President-elect Trump’s announcement for Secretary of Education, some people were sending private “congrats” while then going on to plug for personal profit a failed scheme to turn Detroit’s schools over to a corrupt big-city mayor.
Sad.
