“I’m not upset that you lied to me, I’m upset that from now on I can’t believe you.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche
I Can’t say for sure when politics became such a “lie fest” however it appears that the “lie” has become the order of the day even on major networks. Some network’s mainstays are opinionators who essentially lie for a living ( much like spies). These opinionators aided by adjunct opinionators who serve to bolster the lies told. These shows have huge followings and alter the truth regularly with impunity. Our ersatz National leader relies on these shows for information on all things Presidential. All of the White House advisors push any and all misinformation related to the Administration on any and all networks or media outlets who will have them. The amazing thing is that they will continue to lie even when the truth is put before them. We all have the general opinion that politicians “lie” as a matter of course (lies such as “a chicken in every pot”) in an election run and consider it “political rhetoric” however the new normal is that one needs to lie as long as required to gain the office and then continue to lie to keep it even in the face of the truth. Unfortunately, the liars have larger followings than the truth-tellers, so we (all of us) need to take note of all political parties and the subsets who ply us with their “facts” which are suspect at the least.
