You took the statement too literally, and you are well aware that is not my position. I don't believe that everything is false and that holograms hit the twin towers or whatever. All news outlets are fake news outlets. That doesn't mean there aren't true stories. It simply means everyone is fallible, biased, whether that be consciously or unconsciously, and we are all trained liars. Change my mind.
