Kickass and the truth

Kickass, the doorstop dog, reports the keeper is in something of a dilemma in adjusting to the demise of truth as a communications requirement, from pronouncements from political narcissists to now here on Facebook with the announcement that posts will no longer be “fact checked.”

Having been conditioned by a long newspaper career in which “truth” was the overriding requirement and sticking to the facts for a decade of daily “Kickass,” the keeper has yet to decide how to react to a medium that in effect says it is okay to tell lies since that kind of behavior is apparently trending.

Does he continue to offer Kickass on his blog–billstokesauthor.com, does he try to go to some other medium where money is involved, or does he retire Kickass because he is a tired old dog and wants to nap more in this era where sticking to the truth is apparently the mark of irrelevancy?

The keeper will await poll results from “friends” and enemies.
