I have highlighted so much in this book already.
"We live in an age when too many people prefer feelings over facts. It is too easy to reject verifiable evidence and provable facts in the search for alternative facts and personal truths. And it is far to easy for unscrupulous agents to capitalize on this weakness in our collective consciousness for their own personal benefit."

"The grave danger today is not that reporters are lying. Some are, some aren't. That's not news. The real danger is that too many people cannot or will not distinguish between facts and lies. When people, especially people in power, claim that any statement contrary to their own perspective is fake news, their goal is not to tell the truth but to confuse and dissemble."
