"A Study Finds"...

Old_JoeOld_Joe
in Off-Topic
As many of us appreciate, Vintage Freak has very limited tolerance for financial "pundits" who seem to be able to make a living by the repetitious manipulation of, not to be prissy, BS.

Allow me to contribute my vote for yet another realm of totally useless bullshit: "A Study Finds".

This burst of indignation was triggered by a current "article" on the PBS site:

"It's Easier To Call A Fact A Fact When It's One You Like, Study Finds"

Now, whoever would have thought that might be true?

    It's even easier when you make up your own facts!! Not that I'm thinking of anyone specific by saying that in 2018, of course....

    Once again I was well ahead of my time. When I "made up facts" in high school, I was sent to detention for my efforts. If you do that now, they send you to be president.

    Hi Joe,

    Hope you're doing well.

    That's the blessing and curse of the internet.

    You can find the truth to any question you can think . . .

    Or you can find a lie if that's what you wish to find.

    and so it goes,

    peace,

    rono
