Remember when Colbert was pretending to be a right wing pundit on his comedy show and rolled out the concept of "Truthiness" 20 years ago? That joke jumped the fence and isn't funny anymore. Postmodern relativism (and Libertarian Lite tolerance of it!) is social poison. We need to bring back respect for and submission to absolute truths. Good is good and evil is evil. Especially in our so called "journalism" which used to be a noble calling defined by the 5 Ws and not by luxury beliefs.

I remember "truthiness" it is a version of confirmation bias and group think. And holy hell it's devoured people on the whole trans thing. To the point they handwave male on female prison rape, and school bathroom rape as never happening.
