It used to be that we disagreed over the basic facts we were fighting over, and we had different opinions about them. Now I think we accept different sources of authority. ... And people can establish credibility on their own say-so as long as nobody follows the trail and calls them out on it.

  • -- Rachel Maddow 雷切尔·麦德

过去,我们在争论的基本事实上存在分歧,我们对这些事实有不同的看法。现在我认为我们接受不同的权力来源。而且人们可以建立起自己的信誉——只要没有人跟踪这条路,并在这条路上大声疾呼。
