⁎ “What is wrong with deciding yourself what you want to believe in?
People keep telling me this source I read news from is not trustworthy since it obviously has political agenda. Does it matter? I think I have the freedom to choose what I believe in and I have made my decision. I believe this source is legit, even there’d be proof against it. I chose this and this is just how it is.”
-Facebook comment of an unknown man about certain racist fake news site
⁎ Is media a matter of belief?
⁎ Are we past the point of seeking actual truth or is there even one to seek?
⁎ Does truth depend on the perception of an individual?
⁎ What is truth?
⇝ Post-truth is a term relating to circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief. For example in politics the term fits to a situation where certain points, that could be proven untrue but would have emotional impact, would be still actively campaigned by a politician.
