I'm a full-blown cynic, so take this with a grain of salt...but I people don't want "fair" and they don't want "truth" they want to be told what they already believe is fair and true.  It's the same thing with freedom...people want to say they are all about freedom and therefore rather than begrudgingly accept that people have freedom to do things they don't like or they don't agree with, they find reasons to explain why that form of freedom is bad and therefore opposing it isn't anathema to supporting freedom.

Americans are individualistic and egotistical, and as much as people want to act like the whole "snowflake, me me me" stuff is new, well it ain't.

Ok, I'll take my sunshine elsewhere for now.
