It’s said that we live in a post-fact society. We disagree.
Now, more than ever, facts matter, and ProPublica is going to continue to track how and when patently false statements are injected into conversations about the country’s future.

If you've conditioned them to believe your lies, once is enough.
Once you let the cat (lie) out of the bag, it's really hard to put it back (correct the false reporting.)
They know it will be widely reported. Any retraction is whispered.
Facts matter.
But *only* to those willing to receive them.
Reality remains thoroughly obscured to the willfully resistant.
The willfully resistant are, in fact, unreachable.
And, I fear, there are ever more of those willfully resistant.

Not wanting to project an “elitist” disposition is fine, polite, admirable — to a degree. But at some point, it does a disservice not encouraging folks to remediate a poor education.
. . .sorry, but true.
"It’s also completely untrue."
"You might ask why it’s worth grabbing onto one particular false assertion when there are so many incorrect facts and figures flooding the zone of public conversation."
Let's label them "lies" and see what happens!
Get your kicks in 2026!!!
Truth doesn't matter. Attention does.
If we liberals don't learn this, quick, it's over.
(And as a retired professor, let me just say that this is the kind of "questioning" I and my colleagues tried to teach to students. Perhaps this is why so many Republicans hate higher education?)
America deserves unbiased journalism!!
The rest of the advertising-based media is compromised. Some more than others.
That is where media is failing us.
WE'RE HERE FOR THE RUMBLE.
It's a time for fierce compassion. Be fierce, do an activity everyday. It's self care. Be the rain, the howling wind, and the mountainous wave. Be the storm. Be the broken record. AND WATCH THE VIDEOS. Pass it on.
