    Things do not ‘become’ true. The truth is always unchanging. We get clearer pictures of it, or it becomes more commonly accepted, but mainstream media attention did nothing to affect or create the truths of these matters.

      That’s one view of truth. There’s a great model of truth that involves milk jugs and the fridge of theseus.I’m trying to find it right now but it basically involves unreliable narrators and allows for flexible truth. It’s an interesting view. Not sure I subscribe to it, but it is always interesting to get new thoughts.
