We seek not to influence or skew, but to instead shine a truth light on the unseemly fact-free corners of this godforsaken joint.
Because as American President John Adams once said…
“Facts are stubborn things;
and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations,
or the dictates of our passions,
they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence”
