I ask myself why did we accept pre 2010s answers, maybe because the media institutions had accumulated enough trust ? I feel this unavoidable.. nothing is true unless there's a threshold of quality/verification in place across the system.
- jumping_frog 2y agoThe media was lying all the time. It didn't start lying just after advent of social media. Just look at sitcoms like Yes Minister. The reason we now consider media to lie is because their lies are exposed, documented, tracked and refreshed to remind users not to trust them blindly.
- agumonkey 2y agoUnderstood but who is not lying. Now it went from a semi lying central agent to lots of distributed churches all believing their own partial view .. to me it's worse
