re: #143 Belafon

Part of the reason a lie can travel the world faster than the truth is that the truth requires that you look up and provide proof. I think a lot of reporters are afraid to say lie because it’s a more powerful word than falsehood, and what if they’re wrong?

You also have a lot of reporters who have no real knowledge of the topics they’re reporting on. E.g., political reporters who have no idea how separation of powers works or the political process. Or court reporters who have no understanding of the criminal justice system, etc.
