good morning mq.
rainy sunday morning here in cold hong kong. nothing remotely like the bomb-storm some are embracing in east coast usa. unsure what weather is like where you are. should be good.
re <<I don't buy the current fashion that facts don't matter.>>
w/ you on the logic
but the issue in the main is how long might the truth not matter, before or after the harm of alt-facts do?
re the book on trump, fire & fury, just launched and i received from e-mail chain a perfect PDF version of the book - whomever did the PDF had the book's source document to make the PDF. the time to market is astounding.
i shall wait for the media to spin the book for me, even as the book itself may contain errors, inaccuracies, biases, spins, etc
to any extent others do as i do, and given that the others are far more consequential, harm may be done by both truth, spun-truth, alt-truth, and errors
so, perhaps it is a case of "facts matter" and "non-facts also matter"
