Just three days after Malaysian flight MH-17 was shot down near the Ukraine Russian border, Secretary of State Kerry had all the answers.

McGovern explains that in this new age, what works is “who lies first.” Was freedom of the media a victim of that tragic shooting down? Following Bush’s lies to go to war in Iraq and the lies around Syria’s alleged use of sarin gas in 2013, is this a new pattern for America?
