Sunday Reflection - On Mental Health


"... It is bad enough that malevolent online hoaxers make it difficult to tell the difference between fact and fiction, but when you no longer care about discerning that difference, when truth matters less to you than protecting your political turf, you are a virus in the body politic of a democratic nation. You are an infection that threatens the ability of free people to understand their world and make competent decisions about it."  -- Leonard Pitts, Jr., on the 42 percent (!) of Republicans who, in a study by Gallup and the Knight Foundation, "said they always regard as “fake news” accurate news stories that cast a favored politician or group in a negative light." 

Or, as Pitts says, they're "out of their damn minds."
