TRUTH VS "TRUTHINESS"
In the Christian Bible, Jesus said, "Truth leads to liberty" (McManus, 2012, pp. 45).
However, Stephen Colbert, a self-professed fake journalist, says truth is obsolete; the new standard is “truthiness” (McManus, 2012, pp. 45).
But what exactly is "truthiness"?
Colbert said, "truthiness is a feeling of confidence that something is true that is liberated from any thinking of one’s own or reference to others’ thinking" (McManus, 2012, pp. 45).
More specifically, "Truth is for those who “think with their heads" and "Truthiness is for those who know with their hearts” (McManus, 2012, pp. 45).
