OT re "fact" = proposition, nonfact

[Jonathan Lighter]

Because you don't work for Fox News, which employs a more "liberal" definition.  If I understand them correctly, a "radical" blows you up whereas a "liberal" just explains why you deserved it.

I believe there was another recent instance in New Hampshire with a
faculty member adhering to the conspiracy theory as well. It merited
just a sidebar blurb in the Worcester paper, I don't know what
coverage it might have received in the Globe. My recollection is
that this instance involved a tenured faculty member. Honestly, I
never associated that conspiracy theory with "liberalism."
