The "Cable News Truth" panel is hilariously wrong, IMO. Trump was reamed up one side and down the other on just about every cable station, and even Fox News was dumping shit all over his head during the early parts of the primaries when everyone was pretty sure he was a bad joke and would flame out quickly. The problem isn't that they ignored him or didn't rip him enough, it's that they made no effort to draw out his views on policy positions and instead split their time between broadcasting his stump speeches and making jokes. Fox finally got on the bandwagon after he won the nomination. Taking Trump less seriously than they took Sarah Palin might have seemed funny at the time, but now you've got President Trump (and who knows if he'll find Palin a spot in his cabinet... she'd be perfect as secretary of education).
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
