The political aspect of your post is self-evident, and of course those with different views will point to the other as accept false as fact. However, biases and agendas impact more than our political systems.

Until that day, accepting faulty input and jumping to incorrect conclusions, will simply further downgrade our economy and our social fabric, ruin or even destroy our country, and continue to divide our people.
This same human character flaw that we're all affected with to varying degrees has resulted in the promotion of a seriously flawed counterinsurgency doctrine based on questionable premises that are assumed to be fact. With the exception of wasting billions of dollars and lives, the danger isn't simply being wrong. We should assume we're getting to get it wrong, at least partially, at the outset. The danger is accepting falsehoods as facts, because that will prevent us from learning and adapting. That results in forever wars that serve the interests of some, but not our nations as a whole.
