    What is truth anyway?

    I believe we cannot see objective truth through our personal biases, making this impossible. What they probably mean is that they want media to display only their biases.

      🤔 A lot of things can be proven. Somebody either did say something or they didn’t, an event occurred or it didn’t, a study is founded in data and rigorous testing or it isn’t, scientific evidence is peer reviewed or it isn’t, etc.
