Truth

"It is bad enough that so many people believe things without any evidence. What is worse is that some people have no conception of evidence and regard facts as just someone else's opinion." Thomas Sowell

"The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth." George Orwell

"At most, recognizing that our history was inspired by many tales we now recognize as false should make us alert, ready to call to constantly into question the very tale we believe true, because the criterion of the wisdom of the community is based on constant awareness of the fallibility of our learning." Umberto Eco

"Fear prophets and those prepared to die for the truth, for as a rule they make many others die with them, often before them, at times instead of them." Umberto Eco

"The crux of the truth is that the lie pays its employees better." Thom Renzie

"I am open to everything now. I'm open to things that I never thought I would have been open to. And I -- I really think that the door fully came open. I've realized that everything in the -- in the news is BS, everything. There's nothing that I can consume on any legacy media that I can trust. And that is shocking. And that's disturbing. And it makes you wonder how long it's been going on for. And I'm concerned, it might have been a very long time." David Drew Pinsky

"It is not entirely true that a TV producer or reporter has complete control over the contents of programs. The interests and inclinations of the audience have as much to do with the what is on television as do the ideas of the producer and reporter." Neil Postman

"It requires a high degree of mastery to turn the sword of truth against oneself in order to free oneself from one's own blindness." Unbekannter Verfasser
