I used to say that you are entitled to your own
opinion, but not your own facts.
I have come to realize, however, that such an observation
is no longer valid.
Whether on a national or local level, what pass for
facts are entirely a function of the purveyor of information and the decibel
level provided by their supporters.
We live in the age of truthiness, a concept
introduced by Stephen Colbert in the first episode of his show “The Colbert
Report”.
