Rob Reiner appears to be grossly uninformed.

87. "But facts matter and we should always get them right."

DU's reaction to the Rittenhouse trial was immensely disheartening, honestly. For a community that prides itself on being "reality-based" and that purports to trade in facts and logic, most of DU's response to the trial was laughable. The constant repetition of "facts" that had been debunked umpty-ump times, the refusal to acknowledge actual facts that were inconvenient to the narrative people wished to be true, it was a total shitshow. And the crowning absurdity was that those of us who actually bothered to watch the trial and learn the facts were smeared as Rittenhouse's "fan club."

Most of DU chose, and continues to choose, to live in a fantasy world wherein inconvenient facts are simply ignored when it comes to the Rittenhouse trial. When I saw a thread about the narrative the right was weaving about the Waukesha parade incident and how silly it was, all I could do was shake my head in resignation. The old adage about glass houses comes to mind.
