Quotes by Nathan Bomey (?)

“Social media has given us the ability to twist the facts on a sweeping scale, transforming us into our own personal publicists and political spin doctors while provoking deep-seated misunderstanding and interpersonal division.”
― Nathan Bomey, After the Fact: The Erosion of Truth and the Inevitable Rise of Donald Trump

“We have entire professions devoted, at least to some degree, to spinning the facts. Public relations. Marketing. Lobbying. Law. Politics. People in those fields are paid to present a filtered version of the truth to their target audiences.”
― Nathan Bomey, After the Fact: The Erosion of Truth and the Inevitable Rise of Donald Trump

“Stories focused purely on what side was winning represented 42 percent of the coverage. Coverage of policy issues took up a paltry 10 percent, while stories focused on leadership and experience accounted for only 3 percent.”
