“Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo wants taxpaye “Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo wants taxpayers to foot his legal bills as he defends himself against a workplace sexual harassment claim — and he’s suing the state’s attorney general over it. Cuomo filed the suit against Attorney General Letitia James on Thursday. He’s arguing that James violated state law by denying him public assistance for his defense.” Read the rest of our “Cuomo: Taxpayers should pay sexual harassment legal bills” article, which is linked in our bio.
“‘Facts First” is the tagline of a CNN brand “‘Facts First” is the tagline of a CNN branding campaign which contends that “once facts are established, opinions can be formed.” The problem is that while it sounds logical, this appealing assertion is a fallacy not supported by research. Cognitive psychology and neuroscience studies have found that the exact opposite is often true when it comes to politics: People form opinions based on emotions, such as fear, contempt and anger, rather than relying on facts. New facts often do not change people’s minds.” Read the rest of our “Cognitive biases and brain biology help explain why facts don’t change minds” article, which is linked in our bio.
