> We are experiencing a global assault on truth Perhaps, but from where I'm sitting the effects seem to be much more pronounced in the US than (say) here in Australia or in the UK. Americans seem to have gone for it in a big way. Of course that may well be because the assault is concentrated more on the US. Or perhaps US society was just primed for it in some way. Distrust in the government has been building there for a very long time, and while trust in government is stretched in other places, it's not completely broken.
