More often than not, "Fact" is just a synonym for some political opinion.
How far have we fallen? Our news outlets are more often than not just Panic Porn and Political Hit Jobs... anything except actual unvarnished, unspun, unpoliticized raw news.
Every piece of info on Twitter is an idea fighting for survival.
You'd think having 'fact' as a property of a tweet would be beneficial. But it's the opposite- the truth is often unpleasant and people don't want to hear it.
This gives 'factual' tweets a survival disadvantage on Twitter. If a fake tweet makes people 'happy' (by way of confirming their innate belief), by evolution they'd out-compete other tweets.
Consider, if you’re summarizing what news events where actually relevant to you over the last month, how long would it take?
But to selectively edit videos, leave out details deliberately, loaded word choices ("blasts", "destroys", "slaps back"), deliberate misuse of words to instill a sense of credibility ("fact", "expert", "scientist"), and so much more?
That's more than just processing the data... that's deliberate manipulation.
In entertainment news media, Fact now means opinion, Expert now means political shill, and Scientist means random person with an opinion.
That's not a problem with the headline, it's a problem with your state of mind. There are actual facts at play here, and real experts with good intentions.
If you think the whole world is partisan politics and facts don't matter, good for you, but please don't pollute the information pool for the rest of us.
It's perfectly reasonable to respect facts, and question the motives of profit driven information outlets when they claim to broadcast them.
There's a lot of misinformation being spread.
1. Online headline containing prominent usage of the word "fact" while also hinting at some sort of controversy
2. Misleading article, deceptive spin, bullshit, etc.
I don't think I have quite as strong an association, but I can definitely sympathize with this.
