If they found shit like that no way would it not have been presented at the trial and no way would he not have been charged for possessing it.

You must join the madness of the new alternative facts world we live in. Stop being a boring old person. Set aside truth and normalcy. Abandon friends. Find foes. We live in a Trump America now.

Questioning the veracity of a claim from a "seemingly credible source" shows that you need more evidence than just your opinion of the source, which shows you have NOT succumbed to the "truth is dead" era.

DireWolfSpirit Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I completely seperate art from the artist. Im also not completely trustful of the stories that get bandied around about celebrities so its impossible for me to judge these people personally without firsthand knowledge of their actions. Performance artists, I imagine, could be quite elaborate creating the public persona and masking their personal nature, I havent a clue what they may be like, so im nobody to judge. Im certainly not going to refuse to enjoy some music or acting based on the kind of shabby celebrity media we have in the U.S. , its probably the poorest quality journalism imagineable that writes about artists and in many cases its sensationalized or tabloid, again nothing I could really trust to be accurate.

You wouldn’t judge a writer who married a know molester and allowed the molester to prey upon their children? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am super confused. Generalizing. If you look at the previous page, I said I found one article, the one Jace posted, and was skeptical of it. 15 hours ago, Ser Scot A Ellison said: Being careful to evaluate your raw information doesn’t mean truth doesn’t exist. 15 hours ago, Ormond said: Uh, no. Questioning the veracity of a claim from a "seemingly credible source" shows that you need more evidence than just your opinion of the source, which shows you have NOT succumbed to the "truth is dead" era. From an academic perspective, sure. But in the past I felt comfortable reading an article in a credible paper from a credible writer and talking about it as fact with a friend. I can’t anymore. Even the people we’re supposed to trust and rely on are trying to be the first to report, not the first to accurately report. And said reporters are playing to our mob psychology. Journalism is no longer about the pursuit of reporting the truth. That’s what I mean about the post truth era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This; I also don't follow celebrity nonsense so tend not to find out in order to make a decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Richard II Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I wish I could, but I can't, but it usually has to be something pretty horrible like child rape or you know, funding groups that murder homosexuals in africa, or something.
