the enemy of the good is the perfect. There is no "objective" news; people will always have different ideas of truth; however, i think in this case it's easy to discern a difference by the objective of the actors. Some actors are purposely attempting to distort colloquial understanding via persuasion and misinformation, others are attempting to describe that colloquial understanding to the best of their abilities. Our modern shortcoming is that we've just lumped all of these things under the shorthand "News" and thereby implicitly gave them all the same credibility and importance. It used to be that the Editorials and Opinions were clearly denoted and segregated in the newspaper... not anymore. Though we may disagree on the semantics of what constitutes #realnews determining whether someone is attempting to describe the world through the prism of their own perspective or proactively trying to persuade others to think the same as them is pretty easy to see. We can get mired in the idea that nothing is perfect, so why bother, or we can make the best of what we have & understand that it will never be perfect. (apologies for the offtopic nature of this diatribe, this is something I've been spending a lot of time thinking about lately)
