You can look at any situation and pick and choose what facts you want to care about, and that process can be extremely biased and misguiding, even though all the facts will be correct. It's not so cut and dry as facts vs. fiction. If things were that simple the problem would be easily solved.
- macintux 10y agoIt is so cut and dry as facts vs fiction, but I think 2016 proved it's not easily solved. Trump constantly spouted blatant fiction. He still does. This isn't one set of facts vs another. Trump lies, then vilifies those who call out his lies, and somehow he's the hero.
