You may feel outside the "orange-purple" debate by pointing out exaggerations on both sides,
but that just leaves you supporting "team purple's" policies, whatever you say about their rhetoric.

All that leaves you with is defining anyone who you can actually hear from as not worth listening to.
If a scientist decides to spend their time countering scientific misconceptions in the media,
suddenly they're not a scientist, and they have no more credibility than Huckabee.
Amen.
