I mean, we're in a very difficult period about information, about facts.
There is so much from our leadership that is not based on facts, is not true.
It's promotional or it's just outright.
not factual and we hear this thing about quote fake news principally by people who are faking news uh not always of course and listen i hate the right as much as far right as much as i hate the you know the the woke left is as horrible as the woke right or woke right is whatever say it
But we have lost a central fact-based method for the dissemination of, call it news, broadly speaking.
And every bird brain knows this.
Most of the talkers are talking essentially to themselves and to their audience, reinforcing
what they think, which is not necessarily factual, wherever you are on the spectrum.
The biggest issue we have is having faith and belief in information.
