Oh so you're not concerned about the truth, just who's telling it to you?

Truth is what members of your tribe tell you. Lies are from the province of outsiders. So your mum can be Polish and your dad can be Filipino, yet you can sign a single page document (alleged by outsiders* to be thirteen pages) along with other alleged first nations people. The document is of such importance that cult leader Albo has a copy of it on a wall at his home that he claims to read every morning. I say "claims", because he also has a report on antisemitism which he claims to have acted on, yet has allegedly long been gathering dust on his desk.

*Curiously for the outsiders, the main authors of the document also used to claim that it was thirteen pages until cult leader Albo claimed that it was a single page.

Your summary of the article is -

"... we get lied to by people relying on us not seeking the truth and who fall for the yarns spun to misled them."

If anyone turns to Andrew Bolt to deliver the truth, we're screwed. He's way too busy vilifying anyone who isn't a clone of himself to be concerned with the truth.

Maybe so... I don't follow him all that much, and clearly he lives in your head rent-free.

But in the case of Pascoe, Bolt was one of the first to bring the truth to light and the first major media figure to publicise the efforts of others to reveal Pascoe's lies about all manner of things. Maybe he's wrong on all sorts of other things, yet on this one point made by the article's author, Bolt was very correct. If you are going to ignore all articles that favourably mention Bolt on any issue, you are going miss out on all manner of truths.

Still some prefer it that way.

That was the longest sentence I think I have ever seen.
And Charles Dickens had a few I seem to remember.
I congratulate you on a splendid effort.

To the ambiguity-intolerant, everything looks like malice.

1. Pascoe
Contested scholarship isn't fraud, and silence isn't proof.

2. Sex / gender
You're discussing biology in a dispute about law and social categories.

3. Renewables
Bad slogans aren't lies, and system costs aren't ignored.

4. Consent law
That's a policy choice you dislike, not the state "lying."
