American Pravda – Fight for Truth in an era of Fake News
And Jeffrey Wigand, who’s out on a limb, does he go on television and tell the truth? Yes. Is it

No. Because he is telling the truth. That’s why we’re not going to air it. And the more truth he
tells, the worse it gets.—Al Pacino as 60 Minutes producerLowell Bergman in The Insider, 1999

has it been elected and to whom is it responsible?—Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Harvard commencement address, 1978
