Especially fine writing this week, Rex. I wonder if it would be too social sciencey, or if your readers might be interested in knowing a bit about how some thinkers break partially free of motivated reasoning. And whether that knowledge could provide hints about political reform, as well as hints for journalists trying to assist in the increase of less biased reasoning?

Short term, for those who have no ethical or moral compass, there’s nothing to lose from reckless disregard for the truth. In the end, effective litigation. Is likely the only path to not only halting this, but to unveiling the truth, for those willing to see it.
