#1 This is something new?

#2 The new part is that people are realizing they've been lied to. Newsreader Walter Cronkite was “the most trusted man in America” when he closed the evening news with “And that’s the way it is”. Who could doubt him when he told us the Vietnam War was a lost cause?

But it's not just the media that's lost its shine. Thanks to that usurper Trump and the unified cross-party opposition to him, our national politics have been exposed as just an upscale version of Big Time Wrestling with it's designated good guys vs bad guys and scripted story lines.

It's nothing new, but now the marks are catching on.

#4 "The people on TV have been lying to you,"

That's why I dumped my local newspaper and cut the cable. I figured "Why should I pay to have these assholes lie to me."

#5 "The people on TV have been lying to you,"
As a child I noticed that the Nightly News was distorted. If you listen to the account of the very same event as explained by "Uncle" Cronkite (CBS) vs. Huntley & Brinkley (NBC) you would start wondering if you were hallucinating. I came to the conclusion that the entire CBS reporting was worthless for anything less apolitical than the weather forecast ... And I have less respect for them now.
