I understand that you're placing trust in people you think have access and/or credentials. I would generally do that too.

But then again, when I see or hear someone say things that I know aren't true, I don't care about their access or credentials. I realize that trust in them isn't warranted. And this is most egregious when what they say is not only false but outrageous.

Here's one popular example: The emotionally charged statement that there are Nazis in Ukraine. This has been one of Putin's favorites, and to my amazement, it has been regurgitated here in America by some people. It is an emotionally-charged slur that is not only inaccurate but extremely offensive.

The Ukrainians lost millions of people to the Nazis in WWII. Ukrainians are particularly sensitive to that. So Putin saying there are Nazis in Ukraine is probably the biggest insult he could make. Not only is it the pot calling the kettle black, but it is an insult that goes deep into a Ukrainian's heart.
