Citizens are complicit in the spread of alternative facts. We reject news we simply dont like the danger we become lost in that fog of unknowability if truth is pushed into a wood chipper, leaving us to say, i dont know what to believe, then alternative facts have just havent just fought truth to a draw, alternative facts may have already won.
