GOP’s irrevocable split with truth

UncategorizedBy John YoungJanuary 31, 2022Leave a comment

            I’m not going to blame Associated Press for the clear typo in a recent story about Republican aversion to science. AP does incredible work.             As the story reported, “Republicans’ faith in science is falling as Democrats rely on it even more.”             Nothing incorrect with that wording. Sadly, in…
