“Our reverence for the truth is a distraction.” Whatever that means… is she inferring that in order to have a discussion we need to stop caring about seeking truth and instead simply care about “perspective”? Obviously, this woman never studied Ralph Waldo Emerson.
An essay in the New York Times two years ago said that “critical thinking might not be useful, Brian Stelter said personal research can be dangerous and now this person says a reverence for truth may be a distraction. If I hadn’t any trust left in mainstream media, NPR, and Wikipedia, this statement alone would have killed it.
1:10 "The truth is a distraction." Well, this was probably taken out of context. She is specifically talking about Wikipedia, where the emphasis is on peer reviewed facts. It's a topic you might discuss with your college roommate while you two share a Doobie on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Like, what is truth? First of all, truth is not facts. According to Webster, facts are objective, observable, and verifiable bits of information. Facts are data. Whereas, truth is the interpretation or synthesis of those facts to form a logical, cohesive mindset. Truths are theories. Global temperatures are rising may be a fact. Rising temperatures are a critical threat to global ecosystems may be a truth. Truths can be debatable.
"She is specifically talking about Wikipedia, where the emphasis is on peer reviewed facts." No, it's not. Wikipedia is not about facts, but about "reliable sources", which is code for mainstream sources that they agree with. "First of all, truth is not facts. According to Webster, facts are objective, observable, and verifiable bits of information. Facts are data. Whereas, truth is the interpretation or synthesis of those facts to form a logical, cohesive mindset." Oh? Then why does Merriam Webster list as the first definition of "truth" the following: "the body of real things, events, and facts" "Truths are theories." No, truths are things that are true. Like, you know, facts.
NPR does report the truth either. Just their one sided view. If I wanted government propaganda, I would listen to Voice of America. There is a reason why Americans do not listen to VoA.
I stopped listening to npr years ago because of the far left wokeness. It was obvious that conservative speech was being suppressed . I also gave up on Wikipedia.
Here's a brain melter, if the truth can be a distraction, can lies, if believed to be true, also be a distraction? When does the truth not be a distraction and when do lies that are believed to be true not be a distraction? Sorry but she is talking gobbledygook.
NPR used to be a good station to listen to music and that's all they should provide ... They should not be allowed to do media maybe MSNBC will wake them up as they dissolve.
0:31 - women just wake up in the morning. Throw on a plane shirt and go. Because they got _something_ to say; I guess that makes them boss worthy. idk 😮
i want to hear the whole statement not just a clip and not just clip it and flip it we should not behave like them just because of a good sound bite...
Proverbs 23:23 Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. Isaiah 26:2 Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in. Daniel 8:12 And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered. Zechariah 8:16 These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates: John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
End government funding to NPR.
AND STOP ALL FOREIGN AID !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NPR think that they create the truth.
On YOUR dime.
YOU CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!
Not one cent of tax money should go to NPR. It's absurd that any has.
The government should not be in media😳😳😳
Ya time to defund npr & pbs
"Truth is distraction..perhaps what we want instead is consensus" SCARY
Straight from the WEF playbook.
Is that woman a WEF plant or something?.
If you don't seek truth, then you obviously seek lies.
Satan is the father of lies.
She is bonkers
When people start complaining about finding the truth I start to wonder what it is they wish to keep hidden
This Is Why I Stopped Listening To NPR 7 Years Ago...
AND STOP ALL FOREIGN AID !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone that tells us to avoid our search for the truth is a liar.
Defund npr
Defund PBS completely
This is exactly why I quit listening to NPR. Trump had it right in his first term when he tried to defund NPR and PBS.
DEFUND NPR
and seize the trademarks and name rights.
Straitjacket for that woman!!! 😯

Stopping someone from _living their best life;_ is oppression. I guess.
Truth is as NPR defines it.
Wow. She actually said. Consensus or mass agreement is more important than the truth.
Exactly why I don't listen to NPR ever
We can't handle the truth. That's why ever so caring governments want to protect us ( and themselves ) from it.
Plato [what can you do for] the republic
Consensus above truth ?
Quit giving our money to NPR and PBS while at it.
Wow holy s***.....take them off the air now
AND STOP ALL FOREIGN AID !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is unbelievable shes insane
Good lord! She’s worrying
Consensus ≠ Truth is 💯 correct 😂
NPR should lose all taxpayer funding. and all Rinos must be removed .
Say it out aloud why dont ya
One man's conspiracy theorist is another man's truth seeker.
Every brain believes to be competent.

What is the level of her stupidity?
She thinks everyone is dumb
but she said "In fact..." - she has no facts
she sounds crazy and terribly rehearsed
Finally
Standards at Sotheby's have slipped.

NPR CEO is stoned. Her eyes and speech are slow and deliberate like someone who just got high.
That painting looks to me a massive money laundering scheme.

And now you know why some people want to denigrate truth. Because the Bible lauds it, and Jesus is it.
Consensus over truth about? Like the world is flat. Like the earth is the center of the solar system. Joetato Obiden is competent.
This is literally, an evil being!!!
0:43 that head certainly is a distraction. Horrific.
I in no way endorse this clearly misogynistic comment.
