  1. Richard Taylor I was responding to your reply. With your first question you ask, "If the facts they are presenting are true then what is the issue?". However, someone can lie by omission, or they could be unaware of certain facts. They could also put too much emphasis on particular facts they have a bias towards. In other words, just because someone relies completely on facts doesn't mean that what he says is correct.

  2. Richard Taylor Just because people use facts to back up a statement, doesn't mean that the statement itself is fact.

  3. Richard Taylor I wasn't commenting on the show, just your reply. I have no opinion show, other then that it seems to be pretentious and sensationalist.

  4. Richard Taylor If your time was wasted it's your own doing. You probably would have done so regardless, if you're looking for a "productive" conversation in a comment section of a Youtube video. Anyway, I didn't take what you said out of context. It applies broadly.

  5. Richard Taylor Look at you, you think that that I'm an idiot and a waste of your time, yet here you are replying again. This is why you only have yourself to blame. Anyway, I deliberately tried to break my response down, to be clear and succinct (like a fortune cookie). You seem to be very emotionally invested in this show, and apparently don't like it when someone else is skeptical. (e.g. you replied several times with the same response to different users) I only pointed out that the show's reliance on facts doesn't mean it has no bias, since, as Logi Wan points out, people with a pet narrative do the same thing. That doesn't mean I was contradicting you, since I didn't say that the show is biased either. And as for the existence of "the very statement" I was referring too. I wasn't referring to a specific statement you or this show makes. It applies to any statement. I would think this was obvious, so I'm not sure why you were confused by this.
