Can facts be negative?
)
May 8th, 2016
I was reading an article about Sanders entitled “Negative Facts about Bernie Sanders”.
I’m not going to discuss the content of the article; it’s not relevant.
My question: how can facts be negative? A fact is a fact.
A fact is not intrinsically negative or positive. It may be damaging, it may be supporting, it may be unpleasant—but it’s all in the mind of the reader and the context in which it is presented.
The fact may be erroneous; it may be proven false, in which case it wasn’t a fact after all.
