[QUOTE="BMWMC, post: 5030899, member: 37461"] Again facts matter. Living in a fantasy world makes details seem so annoying at best and at worst, unentertaining. Because that's where the anti-truthers habitat now, isn't it? [B][I]Infotainment[/I][/B] It not really about how the real world is operating, It's more important that there is an entertainment factor to your sources of information. It's not enough just to know a little fragment of truth; what questions still to be answered and information yet to be discovered: it has to have its negative aspects-the fear of the unknown, exploited. The media who gets paid by the clicks is all too happy to feed its audience whatever it wants to eat. Want to hear the election is a fraud...well, here you go. Facts not necessary. The easiest thing to do is to pick out someone who only reads half the story or less, and only from places that validate their own biases. They have a name for that in cognitive science.
