to all the people who scream fake news when they don't like the truth

Wer die Wahrheit nicht weiß, der ist bloß ein Dummkopf. Aber wer sie weiß und sie eine Lüge nennt, der ist ein Verbrecher.

Anyone who doesn't know the truth is just a fool. But whoever knows it and calls it a lie is a criminal.

Bertold Brecht (1898 – 1956)

@wildbill83 Nothing less from a late great humorist.

@Sidewinder When knowledge/fact was harder to access, it was given utmost value; Nowadays, when knowledge/fact is literally at everyones fingertips, it's given next to no value...

Gone are the days of integrity, when news waited for all the facts before reporting on something; Nowadays they just report subjective opinion, facts be damned, simply so they can boast how they were the first to report on it...

Stories don't fit the truth; the facts are omitted or changed to fit the narrative...

@wildbill83 I only replied on account of the fact that I had a 2013 calendar that had quotations from the late great Mark Twain.
