"Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence." –John Adams

 

MISSION

To promote objectivity, logic and reason over subjectivity, emotion and bias.

 

OUR OBJECTIVES

To Inform: We're here to breakdown stories that are misreported by the mainstream media, so that the public is informed of what's really going on.

To Expose: We're here to highlight the logical inconsistencies of political messaging and corporate media bias, as well as any discrepancies between what's reported and what the evidence shows.

To Educate: We're here to explain certain core concepts and philosophies that provide context for how we can properly analyze current events and apply critical thought. We aim to educate our readers so that they understand how to think, not what to think.

 

WHY WE EXIST

Traditional news media has become highly politicized and narrative-driven. Objective journalism is largely dead. It has been replaced with politically biased "news" programming on all of the big networks and newspapers.

As a result, the public is more misinformed and divided than ever. We retreat into our echo chambers and ignore any outside information that may contradict our beliefs.

But it doesn't have to be this way.

Facts Matter USA™ is here to provide all of the evidence and context on the most important issues of our time. We analyze all the facts surrounding an issue, in order to paint a complete picture of what actually occurred.

We provide full references and citations, so you don't have to take our word for it. We let the facts speak for themselves in order to keep you informed.

 

RATIONAL THOUGHT

If you hold a particular opinion or viewpoint, it should be well-informed. This means that you should be able to articulate exactly why you believe what you believe. To do this well requires logic, reason, and emotional control.

Unfortunately, most of us don't really understand why we hold certain views. We tend to have opinions that are heavily influenced by our social circle or that seem widely popular, without thinking things through.

Humans are wired to fit in socially, so we can be led by our emotions to certain conclusions no matter how irrational they may be. Rather than buck "the norm", we adopt the prevailing groupthink.

Emotion clouds reason. In order to discover what is true, we must set aside our feelings and approach every issue objectively. Logical thinking and evidence-based analysis will lead us to the right conclusions.

Those who seek what is true will change their opinions based on facts and evidence. Those who don't will remain stuck in a perpetual loop of confirmation bias.

Challenge your pre-existing beliefs. Actively explore alternative viewpoints. Rigorous intellectual debate allows good ideas to thrive and bad ideas to die. If you cannot defend your position without resorting to emotional appeals or character attacks, then you likely hold the wrong viewpoint.
