Debate and Truth
Bruce McTague wrote a blog post titled Debating & Truth & Contrarian Ideas. The opening quote captures the essence of contemporary political discourse, epitomized by cable news networks.

— Robert George, law professor, Princeton University
The quote comes from interview in The Atlantic.
