Opinions don't affect facts. But facts should affect opinions, and do if you're rational.
Part-time information and full-time opinions can be very dangerous.
There is no such thing as "truth" or "lies" in this world; there never has been. There are only plain, hard facts. And yet, all beings who exist in this world acknowledge only those "facts" that are convenient to them, and take them to be the "truth".
All the courage in the world cannot alter fact.

Facts are neither Republican nor Democrat.
In the age of Trump, we need to be aware of emotional rhetoric and its power regardless of whether or not it's based in fact.
Facts are many, but the truth is one.
A smart man once said to me that speculation is a poor form of politics. Why don't you stick to what you know?
