Willkommen auf Factify News. Inspiriert hat mich die anhaltende Debatte um sogenannte „Fake News“ und die „Lügenpresse“. Um solchen Behauptungen rational entgegenzutreten möchte ich in meinen Artikeln Fakten stets mit Quellen belegen und von Meinungen klar unterscheiden. So soll die Diskussion um aktuelle Themen rationalisiert werden.

„What makes it possible for a totalitarian or any other dictatorship to rule is that people are not informed; how can you have an opinion if you are not informed?

If everybody always lies to you, the consequence is not that you believe the lies, but rather that nobody believes anything any longer.

And a people that no longer can believe anything cannot make up its mind. It is deprived not only of its capacity to act but also of its capacity to think and to judge. And with such a people you can then do what you please.“

Hannah Arendt
