“Deeply Disturbing”

It’s not a crime if you brag about it on T.V. In fact, it’s hardly worth mentioning.

What is this about?

“We don’t know the answer, but we hope the inspector general will find out.”

      It is a BS phrase, a throwaway. Deeply? Is there a measurement of depth to disturbing? Why not just disturbing or find another word to emphasize angst in a situation.

    When I see “deeply disturbing….” whatever, I know it is a false statement, part of a narrative, and propaganda.

    “Deeply disturbing” is a term used to tell the partisan the sound bite is for the “narrative”.

    “Deeply disturbing” is code for ‘do not question the sound bite’, the inference is unquestionable and dogmatic fact, do not compare narrative dogma to any ‘moral standard’ and do not hold any standard like “deeply disturbing” on something your party does.

    For example, staged pictures of kids supposedly in Douma supposedly suffering from chlorine or sarin are “deeply disturbing”. But kids blown apart by fragmentation bombs or Isreali snipers rounds are just fine!

    Treatment of illegals’ kids in Arizona is “deeply disturbing” and horrifying but 30,000 Houthi kids in Yemen with cholera and more scores of thousands starving because of US actions and direct aid to murderous allies is just fine!

    I hear “deeply disturbing” more and more from neocon think tanks who lately are allied with main stream democrats.
