I'm not going to comment on the current state of politics. I will comment on this. This is dangerous thinking.
If someone walked into your shop and asked you to do a
sign. You give your professional opinion based on years of experience. They turn around and tell the world you're lying to them and because they read something on Facebook, they now know more than the professional. Does that make any sense at all?
At some point people have to realize there are facts. There are professionals out there doing good reporting. Regardless of your opinion of papers like the NY Times, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, Boston Globe, and LA times the people they hire, especially senior reporters, are generally incredibly qualified. They graduate from real universities, have real degrees, and real life experience. They've been trained well by other professionals and their papers have high standards for publication. The same can be true when talking about science and medical journals.
So I urge people to stop this insane thinking. It's dangerous. It's the thinking of third world nations. First world nations are full of educated individuals that are generally interested in learning from valid sources. People in general need to stop with the perspective that feelings = facts and facts = made up. That's the definition of broken logic and is incredibly dangerous.
