Rare and precious
Straightforward statements of simple facts are vanishingly rare. You can still find direct truth in comboxes, if you're willing to sift out the standard partisan nonsense. (Everything is Obummer's fault, or everything is Trumphitler's fault.) That's why comboxes are quickly disappearing.
Truth in a paid article is a precious gem, worth collecting and cherishing. Here's one from a non-serious article by MK Ham in The Federalist:
GIF stands for “graphic interchange format,” a file type created in 1987 by a man who pronounces it incorrectly.
Yes. ON THE DOT. No cautious hedging or "some believe" or "critics suggest" or "with all due respect". Just truth.
