“Of course, the 24/7 news machine and social media has kicked it up a notch or twenty.”
Today the truth is more easily identified than ever. Unedited video is in your face truth, regardless of the commentary, not to mention email, texts, and even social media tweets. Granted, the media always has opinion to bolster an agenda, muddy the waters, but I don’t ignore self evident truth regardless of how I feel about it.
Denying truth,
Makes one dishonest.
This is all common sense.
