Dear journos,

I keep bumping into the phrase “made-up facts” in your stories where you bothside (as you are wont to) extreme-right gaslighting frames.

There’s no such thing as a “made-up fact”. It’s a contradiction in terms. If it is a fact, it isn’t made up. And if it’s not a fact, but is being made up (which is an intentional act), the word for that is “lie”.

Thanks for your attention.
