"A society, a democracy, can die of too many lies — and we’re getting close to that terminal moment unless we reverse the obsession with lies that are being fed around the country.”
-- Bill Moyers
Well, here's the problem....he should have made this statement back in the 1990s.....when the lying business started up and people were questioning all the hype by journalists and strategy groups.
Maybe Moyers just woke up in the past two years, but this whole 'game' has been on turbo for roughly 30 to 40 years.
Today? It's reached the stage where most newspapers and news magazines are worthless. CNN? Their audience has dwindled down to almost nothing. NPR and AP? People actually laugh at the current emphasis of their news production.
