Because every source of "truth" and "facts" is subject to differing standards of evidence. Nothing is ever objective. Everything, from history, to mathematics, to physics, to government, etc. is a matter of viewpoint and perspective. If you want to have a curated set of "truth", you're going to have to assemble it yourself, like some people here already do. At home, we call it our library.

The jews did 911. Niggers are subhuman. The rest can be worked out if we eliminate the first two problems.
