Politics, Propaganda, and the Truth

"Information is evaluated based not on conformity to common standards of evidence or correspondence to a common understanding of the world, but on whether it supports the tribe’s values and goals and is vouchsafed by tribal leaders. “Good for our side” and “true” begin to blur into one."

"This is the logic of alternative facts, which is a strategy of base mobilization rather than persuasion. You don’t need to win the argument. You don’t need to even have the facts. All you need is to offer your side an alternative story in which to believe, a story that makes you sound trustworthy and your enemies untrustworthy."

Vox has a very obvious liberal slant in my opinion. Whenever I watch one of their videos on youtube, it isn't even a minute or two in before they take something interesting and try to politicize it for the left. Highly annoying. I don't mind having bias, but pretend to have some balance.
