what I've heard
"I don't read fiction, Doug. Fiction's just not true!"
"I don't have time to read the newspaper. I just form my own opinions."
"I'm fed up with all the media concentration. I've decided, from now on, I'm just going to listen to NPR."

Fiction is often true; it's just rarely accurate.
This relates obliquely to comments overheard in the Land of Topiary on a sunny day, in a warm meadow shaded intermittently by trimmed Topiary:
"Fiction's just not moo!"
"I just trim my own opinions."
"I'm just going to listen to National Topiary Radio."
Amazing how our worlds collide.
Moo!
