Factiness - the taste for the feel and aesthetic of “facts,” often at the expense of missing the truth"
"...what Stephen Colbert called “truthiness,” which we might define as ignoring facts in the name of some larger truth. The facts of Obama’s birthplace mattered less for them than their own racist “truth” of white superiority.
