Which "Facts" Should We Believe ???

Here is a good example of what I mean:

According to this report, the WVa teachers' strike was a "win" for the teachers:

But according to this report, it was a sell-out and bad for the teachers:

http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2018/03/07/west-m07.html

The facts are:

  • the strike is over, and
  • the teachers got a pay raise.

The interpretations are:

  • it was a win, or
  • it was a sell-out.

Stop confusing facts and interpretations (a.k.a. propaganda).

And stop insulting people who don't believe your lies.
