"And you know what they're really saying..."

It's not just social media, but it's bad there. You take one sentence or a two-second clip, and then you stretch it, distort it and refute the distortions.

I've seen a two-second clip with commentary like, "Really? Does that mean that X? Won't that lead to Y and Z?" And they're on a roll. All this despite the fact that if you look at a seven-second clip or - Heaven Forbid! - 30 seconds or the complete response, it's quite obvious that, no, it doesn't mean X, Y, or even Z, whatever those stand for.

And even if those points aren't addressed, no one will ever ask. They'll just accuse because that's easier.

That's why I do math and apply actual logic. I prefer the challenge.
