  This is like an op-ed from an alternative history where people are allergic to politics and hate themselves. I do not understand how I'm supposed to empathize with the author's position.

  I wonder if the aphasics in The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat would've liked TFA as much as they had the TV politician?

  EDIT: come to think of it, there's a simple way to have a world without fact-checking: have politicians who can be relied upon to speak truthfully. (Sadly, it's not an easy way.)

  This rant should have remained in the bottom of the whiskey glass where it originated.
