      The "he said, she said" + "here are some partisan claims" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ part is not only harmful to democracy—we don't need paid media to do it.

      I mean this to apply across the political spectrum. Complacency towards facts is not a post-internet problem. But worse with the internet.

      Science is a great example of putting truth at the center of an enterprise. It's not perfect. We all can point to problems. Yet, it moves.

      Decades of assault on science—mostly because of its strengths & occasionally for its faults but beyond reasonable measure—is a disaster

      Now we have journalism being eaten by the logic of the partisan, fact-free media that—of course—do well in terms of clicks and views.

      We have to find a path to strengthen and center our institutions which focus evaluating claims & facts, and on teaching the process. aaargh

      If anyone has the "Let's solve BIG problems" blues: fund teaching, evaluating & publicizing of claims of fact. Core to every other problem.

      The truth is learning to evaluate claims of fact can't just be taught as a "method". You also have to know lots of facts. Iterative process.

      Trump asks why "candidate coughed" isn't news—and the answer is it was covered! Of all the actual problems we have. https://twitter.com/SopanDeb/status/773182301580693504 …

      Coughs are not symptoms of seizures, epilepsy, dementia or Parkinson's. The only news here is the relentless nonsense of this discussion.

          First sign of fact-free editorializing? It's from Breitbart. @zeynep
