Your ref makes me think. Similarly to 1984, half of america is in a post-truth world.
If watergate happened again today, Trump would say “fake news”, liberals would be outraged, and a week later everyone would have forgotten. Welcome to dystopia.
That’s exactly why Fox News was created in the first place: literally by a member of the Nixon Administration, as a countermeasure against the media reporting the truth during future Watergate-type Republican scandals.
Yup! As another user pointed out, it’s exactly why fox news even exists. Their prime time opinion shows are almost literally the two minutes hate they just don’t have a single Goldstein, they have a Goldstein of the week/month.
Every night they sing lullabies of “hate the liberal. Hate the left. Hate hate hate. Be angry.” They’re like the opposite of the Daily Show, instead of laughter they use anger.
