    It does however have an effect on what he uses as his sources of information and how he decides to interpret that information.

    One only has to look at how political parties can look at the same "fact" and how they will then use that to support their own political agenda.

    Take that to the extremes where the white supremacists, anti-semites and the like hang out and you have a recipe for propaganda and hate-mongering. The thing is these people actually often believe what they say. Based on the "facts" they have read or listened to.

    i was talking about this particular thread.


    the fact is this was a smear story made up by a xenophobic opportunistic compulsive liar is still a fact. even if that fact was pointed out by someone who quoted a prominent racist elsewhere.
