Truth Always Wins: Liberal Media Has Started to Report Actual Facts

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

I reposted a meme this week. It was a graphic of a mass of humanity, with tens of thousands of people standing shoulder to shoulder and one solitary individual standing outside, looking back at the group. The accompanying text was, “Yes, you all are wrong.” To this, I added, “It appears those of us who stood nearly alone on masks and jabs are exonerated. May the same prove true on all else woke and wrong.”

What was my point?

It seems pretty simple, really. As Os Guinness says in his book “A Time for Truth,” “Truth is true even no one believes it, and falsehood is false even if everyone believes it. Truth is true, and that’s just the end of it.” Or, in the words of Adrian Rogers, “It is better to be divided by truth than to be united by error. … It is better to be hated for telling the truth than to be loved for telling a lie.”

The bottom line is that it doesn’t matter what the crowd thinks. Truth isn’t determined by majority vote. History is laden with examples of when the masses were wrong. Galileo stood against the masses of Europe when he said the Earth revolves around the sun rather than vice versa. Wilberforce stood against the masses of Britain when he said slavery was objectively evil. Bonhoeffer stood against the masses of Germany when he said that Hitler was wrong and Churchill was right. And the little boy on the side of Hans Christian Andersen’s parade stood against the masses of time immemorial when he said, “The emperor is naked as a jaybird.”

In the past four years, the fallacy of ad populum has proved itself more alive and well than many dared believe possible. Over and over again, the minority has been silenced, and the skeptics have been censured. Canceling the dissenting voice has become ubiquitous in the 24-hour news cycle. In the few short days after the average Joe first heard about Wuhan, COVID-19 or mRNA, it became virtually impossible to open one’s favorite news app without seeing a public flogging of another poor soul who dared to ask a logical question.

Week after week, journalists, physicians, statisticians and statesmen alike were “fact-checked” into social media oblivion for simply challenging the efficacy of masks or the wisdom of injecting a drug into your body that, by definition, was still experimental. Every day, hordes of woke lemmings rushed toward the cliffs and woe unto anyone who dared ask, “what the heck are you all doing?” The masses shunned and shamed rather than simply saying, “thanks for the warning.”

But perhaps the tide has turned. In the past handful of days alone, we’ve seen more and more of those in the mainstream media who had shown themselves to be little more than an obedient Gestapo marching to the drumbeat of the ideological Third Reich step away and do something that many of us thought impossible: They started reporting actual facts.

Consider the following.

CNN: “Data suggest the possibility that the updated booster might not be any more effective at preventing COVID-19 infections than the original shots.”

Rasmussen: “Nearly half of Americans believe that the COVID-19 vaccines probably caused a ‘significant number of unexplained deaths,’ while over a quarter say they personally know someone whose death may have been caused by vaccination side effects.”

The Washington Post: “We are overcounting COVID deaths and hospitalizations. That’s a problem.”

The BBC even featured a cardiologist named Dr. Aseem Malhotra, who said a “likely contributory factor to excess cardiovascular deaths is the Covid mRNA vaccine” and the “roll out should be suspended pending an inquiry.”

And then you have the stunning actual news work of the recent “Twitter Files,” which proves beyond dispute that a top Pfizer board member explicitly worked with lobbyists (all the way up to the White House) to suppress any public debate that inferred natural immunity might be superior to the “vaccine” that stood to make the company, and this board member, billions.

Yes, many of us have stood alone, and we were mocked and maligned for doing so. But, as light always shines in the darkness, truth always exposes the lies. We were right about masks and jabs, and we are also right about men being men, women being women, children being groomed, Black Lives Matter being little more than a neo-Marxist shill, and the alphabet soup of those waving their rainbow flags being ontologically insane.

Hang tough. The masses were wrong then, as they are wrong now. Truth is true even if no one believes it. It isn’t determined by vim, vigor, or vote. It’s just true, and that’s the end of it. And in the end, truth always wins.
